suit inflation on meg

Jeff Keep · 10th April 2006, 07:11

Hi Folks,
Ive just purchase a meg and was wandering the best way to rig an argon cylinder.
I have a 1.5L ali cylinder and have tried clamping it to the rear, just behind the dill but was not happy with the profile.
I currently have it clipped to the side of my backplate as I did when o/c, this is ok but a little cumbersome.
I would be happy purchasing a new thinner cylinder i.e steel 1L but cant find one anywhere.
Any Ideas please.

Regards,

Jeff

Another optin jeff is to look at john routley stand for the meg. the base of the stand has a hole that allows you to in essence but mount your argon cylinder.

there are pictures somewhere on the forum.

For the 1L steel tanks try,

I have rigged my 1,5L alu tank on the side of the back plate with a webbing loop and some bungee around the neck. I do not notice the tank at all while diving. I do it wtih YBOD though.

Well this shop is in France near toulon and Hyeres ( nice place to dive

), but this tiny bottle certainly could be found in UK I think.

Perhaps this part could be easily send in UK ( 2Kg complete with reg ).

My 2 liters inflation bottle is horizontaly hanging at the bottom of my wing, its better than you can imagine before trying it.

I strap the argon tank to the back plate and bungee it in place so it wont flop around.
