Subject: RE: Backplate design mods for single tank -- comments?
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 1999 12:00:00 -0000
Custom Divers have a web site - search for custom&divers on Altavista etc.
I only use the backplate, not any of the harness or wing, which is standard
stroke kit, as seen on the Lucy 99.
- I use domed nuts to secure a doubles rig - they don't dig into back or
snag suit at all.
I use a Halyon explorer 55 with the backplate, which I have put slots in -
by marking through the backplate then took to a sailmaker to put 'eyes'
around the slots. 
Works extremely well for singles with a cam band only (as well as doubles)
My harness is one piece, conforming to DIR standard + use Shimellian crotch
strap as the CD backplate has a slot for it.
regards,
Dave.
