I gutted my first gen Loser Machine helmet and popped in a biltwell reline kit(fit like a glove), only thing I kept were the original flannel print ear pieces. Don't have pictures of the inside (too lazy) but it looks like a biltwell helmet would. It's SOOOO much more comfortable. Let's just say that if I ever had to reline any other helmet, a biltwell liner is what I would use.

Actually just got one. Fit's perfect, however, the ear piece is going to be an issue for me, because they snap in, and there are no snaps on the inside of my lid. Gonna need to finger something out. I'll grab a few pics of the inside tonight when I get home.

I used one for some random ebay helmet I bought and it fit perfect. had the same issue with the snaps on the ear pieces but they fit in there and stay put with out the snap. I dont have any pics cause Im deployed but I would say it would be money well spent if you got a lid that needs to be redone and you dont feel like making your own.

Sadly, gyro, I did try to make my own. I probably had a few too many beers while working on it, cause it was fucking crappy. I got spray adhesive all over the place, glued fabric to the damn table, cut the wrong size foam, laid the fabric to the foam wrong, got shit all over the place. It was a disaster.
Went kinda like this:
Open beer and take a few swills.
Check all supplies.
Few more swills.
Look at supplies and have a smoke.
Open another beer.
Remove old smelly fucked up liner.
Drink more beer and have a smoke.
Make a pattern from the old liner.
Open another beer.
Look at fabric to cover foam, "eyeball" a big enough piece.
Drink and have a smoke.
Re-cut fabric.
Have a drink.
Spray adhesive to foam. Why the fuck did I do that?
Open another beer.
Recut foam for pattern.
Have a smoke and finish beer.
Lay foam out and spray adhesive. Lay fabric on foam to cover. Remove fucked up pile of foam from worktable cause it got stuck, due to the stupid amount of spray adhesive I used.
Swear and open a beer and have a smoke.
Chase kids away from work table.
Open a beer and have a smoke.
Recut fabric and foam.
Spray foam and lay fabric.
Have a beer.
Peel stuck fabric and foam from fingers.
Attempt to put liner in helmet. Why does this look so fucked up?
Try helmet on.
Attempt to remove helmet - without pulling out all of my fucking hair because the glue is still tacky.
Chase laughing wife from shop with a screw driver, with helmet now drying on my skull.
Rip helmet off. Fuck.
Pull fucked up attempt at coolness out of helmet and throw across the room.
Chase kids out of shop and open a beer.
Order a Biltwell liner and wait.

What a disaster.
