As a footnote, >observe that I can pull the single plate and the rig immediately accepts >doubles, and it has the lift to do it, right out of the box. > The AUL and Seapro setup is great, here are some modifications that I have done that make it even better: On the Harness/Backplate: I have replaced the default crotch strap with two inch webbing attached to the backplate at the lower bolt. This eliminates the snap buckle which can break, and was flimsy to begin with. On the Wings: I got rid of the power inflator hose dump, and replaced it with just an elbow. I also replaced the corigated hose itself with one that is about a foot long, which allows me to dump air very easily. I also added additional cable ties to the top and bottom attachment points of the hose. I have replaced the spring in the dump valve with a stiffer one, I found the wings to have to little lift for 95s, and the new spring helps them retain more air (another option is to stretch out the spring manualy). I have an interbue cut to the dimensions of the wings, which I place around the bladder in order to protect them better (this was advice from George). I have found it be a great setup, and it is even practical for NE Wreck Diving (imagine that). On another note I have a dive rite transpac for sale, anyone intrested? -Charles +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Please send messages for the WreckDiver list to: wreckdiver@wreckdiver.com Send subscription and help requests to: wreckdiver-request@wreckdiver.com +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
