These SA2010 helmets were suitable for the Old style SA Hans Posts, the ones where the threaded washer had to be installed between the shell and the padding.
The SA Hans posts are recognizable by the slot in the post and the FIA 8858-2002 stamping.
The Arai SA2010 helmets were supplied to the US without FIA label.
