This mount shim has been designed to increase the contact footprint between Sony's Action Cam Side mount (VCT-HSM1) and the helmet surface of a Shoei GT AIR 2 motorcycle helmet. Having a higher surface area for the mounts footprint increases resistance to the shearing forces of both wind and added mass from mounted equipment. The mating surface mounting position for this shim is just forward below the side pivot of the helmet's visor (see photo). Orientation is indicated by a nub on the top side of the shim. Rotate so the nub is facing at approx 2 oclock.
*Notes:
- If you prefere a part in another color not offered, the white polished option may be purchased instead with a bit of DIY elbow grease to dye the part yourself to the color you want.

- Dyes used for colored components on shapeways (white is uncolored) are water based and need to be sealed with a UV resistant clear coat for maintaining color appearance with exposure outdoors.
- Fiebing's Leather Dye is an alcohol based waterproof alternative but will still require sealing UV protective clearcoat for color fastness. You can see their color options here [u]https://www.fiebing.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/2016_Color-Chart_Web.jpg[/u]
