So the mask I'm polishing up is my old Sherwood Van Velden from the late 90s... It was in pretty rough shape cosmetically from some hard fought wars and misguided spray bombings in my teens, but the mask itself is still structurally sound.
I dismantled the mask, removed the old padding, and had a buddy blast a quick matte black finish on it.
I've purchased new Maltese GPS Gel for the interior, a new Cat Eye Cage from Denis at GoalieParts.com, and replacement hardware and chin cup from Nash.
Had a bit of trouble getting the new cage to fit even though it is a "Van Velden" cage, but i recall having to struggle when i was younger to get the stock cage to align with the bolt holes when attempting to reattach to the mask. The new loop clamps seemed to be about 5/8" short on the sides of the mask to align with the original holes. I went on a hunt this week to try to find some larger loop clamps at about 4 speciatly fastener shops here in Edmonton and United Cycle but couldnt track down anything remotley close. I also tried to order some longer loop clamps from McMaster-Carr some others had done on GSBB, but was told that they only ship to businesses up here in Canukistan. So I ended up drilling new holes on the sides to mount the new cage correctly.
As mentioned in a post above, I dropped of my mask to get hydro dipped yesterday with a red carbon fibre pattern and should have it back tomorrow for reassembly. I'll post some more pics when ye ol' bucket is back in my possesion.
