I have a AN-H-15 flight helmet and an ANBH radio receiver unit to put into it, but am not sure how to do it. The rubber on the helmet is not dried out, but I can't get it to stretch far enough to get the receivers in. Can anyone give me any help or guidance in installing the ANBH radio receivers? Was there a tool like a shoe horn that was used to do this? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Marty,

Although you hav successfully installed the receivers (same way I do) for future reference in case the rubber earcup pads of the AN-H-15 or A-11 are not that supple anymore, I found helpfull to warm them up before stretching them with a hair drier. 10-15 min of warming them makes the difference once you stretch them.

Afternoon Marty..

Glad to hear you were able to install the earphones.. Guess my ear cushions weren't glued in as much as your's were..

Thanks for the guidance. I tried to pull one of the ear pads, but it didn't seam to want to come loose.

I finally got them in by just stretching the rubber outer pieces repeatedly with my fingers to loosen up the rubber some. I was then able to get the receivers in by getting one side started then working my way around. I had to use a butter knife for the last section, but it finally popped in.

Marty,

Here's how I put mine in. I gently (GENTLY) pulled the inner ear cushions out, installed the receivers, then reinstalled the ear cushions back in with just a drop of rtv.. The receivers might screw apart, but i didn't want to possibly break them

Hal,

I looked and the receivers seem to be one piece, nothing to take apart by unscrewing.

Marty,
Going from a fuzzy recollection of something I saw maybe 40 years ago. Is the receiver unit a two piece item that is screwed together? Like a screw top jar? Could it be that the two pieces are unscrewed then slipped through the rubber part then screwed back together??
