How do I make a sculpture a body part?

I spent a couple days now making a helmet. It has multiple sculpture grouped together. I'm now trying to put it on the dummy.

I deleted the head, and placed the helmet in the correct spot. I figured going to the Body Structure tab then clicking "choose head" would work. But I cannot select the helmet! It goes greyed out.

  Move the helmet into the puppet's group like this:
  
  Grab it by holding R2
  
  While holding R2, scope into the puppet with L1+X.
  
  If you deleted the head, you'll also need to connect the helmet to the neck by creating a ball joint in the gadgets menu. Otherwise you could just group it with the existing head sculpt by scoping into the head sculpt while grabbing the helmet like I described above.

  Make sure the first thing you click on when creating the ball joint is the neck, and the second is the helmet.

  The best order is to group the helmet and the existing head *first*. This will keep everything set up such that this group works the way it always worked. *Then* delete the old head. Because the connectors and functionality is now using the group instead of that head sculpt, you don't have to do anything else.
