Hi guys!
I am tired of my ratteling Tiger mounts and I would like to mount my tanks valves up with normal cambands in stead.Two on each tank. More streamlined and easier to switch to what ever tanks that there is. I do use my tanks with different rebreathers almost every day.
I have tried to do something with single tank adapters but it is not stable enough.
Need something that look like a X or something that rest on the Meg scrubber and will support the tank it self too.
Any one have any suggestions?

Hi Rodge,
i have used x-brackets for a long time on the meg. i like you, use different cylinders at different locations and find the tiger gear a bit of a pain. i only used one x bracket on each side with a stainless steel buckle on the cam band (not plastic). it is true the x bracket is not as stable as the tiger gear, but saying that i have never had a tank slip off in hundreds of dives. Patti is right, the new shadow mounts rock. i have been trying a set for a few weeks now. they are low profile and sleek and tight! but then you need to mount on each cylinder. so the choice is yours. if you need x-brackets i have lots for sale now that i am moving to the shadow mounts. good luck and pm me if you need any help.
