Subject: RE: Back Plates (Plastic or Stainless)
Date: Thu, 5 Oct 1995 13:32:10 -0700
I've had the OMS SS back-plate for about 2 months now.  It is cutting the 
webbing around the shoulder strap holes.  It also has rusting SS rings at the 
crotch strap and right shoulder.  The "d" rings seem to be fine.  When I got it 
I had real concerns about the rust-ability of it.  The plate seems to be fine, 
however the other hardware, I'm really concerned with.

I've dove with ABS backplates and they seem to not hold  twins as well.  I feel 
that the SS backplate gives me a far more stabile platform.

The issues that I and others are having as I've said before on this list is: 
OMS customer service is non-existent.  It took weeks to get my twins (OMS 125's 
with isolation manifold) in.  They ignored all requests for shipping dates. 
 They seem to be doing so well that they feel that they can ignore customers.

I understand that there is someone in Vancouver, BC that is making a Titanium 
coat SS backplate that is drilled for twins with a Sea-Pro pack.  I think that 
it could become a real item to have. No rust, rugged, plus you don't have to 
deal with OMS.  I'll let the list know what I find out when I'm up in Vancouver 
this weekend.
