This helmet does fit, just a bit too tight. With my local dealers only
stocking crap, there were no similar helmets near... so took the chance.
I'll sell this helmet if someone wants a good deal on one, if not, I'll keep
it and stretch it out a bit...

Too large a gap and they won't work. Unless you have hotter coils to
provide the extra juice to make them fire, with the larger gap there is
more resistance and you need more power to get a spark across the gap.
