Subject: Re: Matt London
Chris, as you know I am easily accessible to all by this medium of
phone, and it is always best to check with me on anything where you have
a question that appears to either involve me or be something I should
know about.

I don't know about any of this stuff, but I can tell you that the WKPP
web site has the graphics for reweaving the harness and I think the DIR
II tape also has it explained and refers to the url for the graphics.
Matt bought a scooter  ( from me ) through Robert, and I delt with
Robert on this transaction. I do not like to get involved with Tailand.
Otherwise I do not know him, but maybe Jarrod or one of the other guys
does.

If the wings are Halcyon, it probably does not make any difference , but
the guy should have told you the real story.

I do use aluminum back plates for everything but Faber tanks with a dry
suit ( to make them closer to the 104's in buoyancy), but if you wanted
steel, you wanted steel.

I try to keep my distance form the commercial end of diving, even though
Robert and JJ are both close friends and are both in the business. 

Every time I have sold some used item in the past, other than my own
scooters, it has bitten me in the ass. I now just throw or give things
away that I do not use anymore.
