Nilman dosen't feel good to be flamed? Just don't bend over while your on
this list.  
 
I have rigged numerous BC's including US Divers, Tekna, and Oceanic to
carry double tanks.   Kevin's Seapro  BC was a chore however because of the
400 pounds of lead that I attached to it. For the life of me I couldn't
figure out how he was able to keep neutral  while collecting all of Georges
arrows and line from Wakulla. 
 
For double tanks, it just takes some creativety and a local hardware store
that carries brass or stainless fastners and some double bands. If you are
a non mechanical type your options are  
 
1. Tell yourself what a dork you are for buying it in the first place. 
2. Pay someone to fix it for you.  
3. Call the manufacturer and ask them if they have a kit.  
3. Stay out of the water. 
4. Put some holes in it and sell it to Kevin.
