Subject: Mako Implosion
    While diving in LR on Sat. the faceplate of  my dive buddy's Mako
scooter imploded without any advanced warning.  After recovering the
scooter and disassembling the foreshell, it became immediately evident
that the rectangular faceplate at the front of the scooter is a rather
flimsy construction.

    I would prefer NOT to replace the faceplate with the original
Oceanic replacement part but instead something more sturdy.
Unfortunately, although AUL produces a solid Lexan faceplate for the
Tekna, that faceplate does not fit a Mako scooter.  Maybe AUL will
eventually also manufacture a replacement part for the Mako but I am
afraid I can't wait that long.  Hence my question:  anybody out there
know of anyone who is making and selling a re-designed (sturdier)
faceplate for the Mako?

Thanks in advance.
/Matthias
