These are many fine ideas for plates, very high quality.... but it can be done very simply by drilling a couple holes in a standard plastic backplate and stacking a single mount bracket. Or you could use aluminium…. On http://goingunder.net/photogallery.htm at or about the middle row, bottom of the page is a bastardized back plate for a short diver prior to the delivery of the evolution. Yes the hoses are exposed but this diver is a recreational ow ccr diver who traveled.

It's got the concept, but not the all out ability!! Exposed hoses? Don't mind. Low travel weight is the target, and the requirement that I can hang from it, in normal Inspiration configuration, whatever cylinders are available. 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12 litres cylinders. Whatever the resort has. Twin 12's and a scrubber? Load it up, lets go.

Phi, thanks for that, I would appreciate it. May be you can put it in another thread or Stuart can make an article out of it and give it a permanent home.
It was all going well until the kiddy, ooops, I mean the napkin design appeared!!

Cheers

I am pressed for time to prepare for a business trip to Ukraine. Will be back next Tuesday. So if I don't have time to post the pictures, I will do as soon as I am home.

No worries... When you get around to it is fine.. It's not like I am going to rush out and start buying materials for it or anything.. Do you have details of the back mounted lungs as well or are you using the OTS ones??

Pretty much just looking at ways of creating a robust CCR that doesn't fall apart on the boat especially in the conditions that we experience down here sometimes and giving myself some options other than getting a Meg. I like the options of using other cylinders rather than just bolting things to the original plastic case of the Inspo.

Cheers

Peter, we have several custom frames in the gallery.

Paul's DT Box
Several of Tech Blue's Inspiration Cage
A drawing with measurements of Pat's SS Frame

Joe Radomski dives Enrique's D.E.S. titanium frame and Deep Bandits in Germany also offers a metal frame with outboard tank mounts, though these are probably more for technical dives with large bailout tanks.

You can find more on the Joe's D.E.S., the DT Box as well as the Jan Box on both Diver Mole's Your Inspiration Buddy website as well as Janwillem's Rebreather's Worldwide .
