Richie, just get the webbing from Halcyon, duh! ;-) You can also get the crotch strap from them, but then you'll have a problem installing it if you got with 2 inch. The OMS backplate has a 1 inch slot. There is an easy solution. Simply use a bolt to attach the crotch strap, like you normally would with a nylock nut and a short bolt. Get the biggest bolt that will fit through the 1 inch slot, position it in the center and voil=E0! If you tighten it down it won't move around, and you didn't even have to drill a hole. I used regular webbing for the crotch strap, and it's a bit stiff. Doesn't bother me, but if you want the real deal go for halcyon webbing on that one too. BTW, I kind of regret having put my own harness together. First I used standard webbing from a dive store, which was too stiff, then I did it again with webbing from Halcyon, which is much nicer, but then I saw a friend with a Halcyon harness, and all the D-rings are prebent, and the whole thing just looks slick. As usual, I could have saved some money by just buying the damn Halcyon setup to begin with. Cheers. Richie wrote: ~ > > >Hopefully, you have an answer.
