Jeff, this assumes you are using the Dive-Rite wings, or something similar,
that have built-in windows for the straps.  My AUL backplate came with
those slots already cut, but I couldn't use them because my Seapro wings
don't have the strap windows.

Just out of curiosity, why can't you use manifolded doubles in sumps?
