Parkway Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 So i bought a custom made headset from a guy that's no longer in business. I think it was called the Squawk Shoppe over in the US. Anyway i'm trying to find some replacement gel seals that will fit, and all google is showing up is either bose or david clrake seals! Does anyone have any idea where i should go looking for alternatives? From what i can see the david clark ones are the same style of seal but slightly bigger. I was trying to avoid going down the road of becoming Macgyver... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverHammer Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Google aviation headset gel cushions. Most of the David Clarke style cushions seem to be interchangeable, I've successfully refurbished Sigtronics, Altronic and Avcom headsets with them. Have a look through www.headsetsinc.com to get an idea of other available bits and pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrific BrebdAN - I have always liked the Peltor headsets light, comfortable and good passive noise attenuation. I believe that you can fit any of the cushions, inner foam from the industrial hearing protectors. - I have one set. 11 hours ago, BrendAn said: 4 Edited November 21 by skippydiesel 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgwilson Posted Monday at 06:35 AM Share Posted Monday at 06:35 AM i just bought some David Clarke H10 compatibles on Ebay, $22.45 delivered (seem to be the same as the Ali Express cheapies) & installed them today. Just as good as the originals I reckon. I think the only difference is delivery time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippydiesel Posted Monday at 07:13 AM Share Posted Monday at 07:13 AM I also have a set of Peltor/3M industrial ear muffs, that I converted into an aviation headset, using parts from an army surplus tank headset (had to purchase the mic). Work very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
