Drager Ray on twins

dmo85471 · 18th June 2006, 13:04

HI ALL
I have a drager ray and would like to put it on twin tanks (2x5lt) I would prefer to put the tanks on either side of the scrubber. I would also like to keep the bc as is or make as little change to it as possible.
So have any of you done this? or can any one put me onto info on the web?

This is my first thread so am very new to all of this. David

Hey Dave you have come to the right spot. There are people on here from everywhere at all levels of experiance. Most seem to have one thing in common, to share knowledge in a positive manner.
Have you considered mounting your bottles sidemount. It can be done quite cheaply & it keeps the rig pretty slick. A quick search of the forums should yield much info on sidemounting.

Regards RAL

I have exactly the stuff you need on this, I posted it on recycleur net, but just found it down. let me dig out the stuff when I get home,

What you need is basically, a length of 160 mm drainpipe stuff about 400 - 500 mm long (hardest bit to find), some SS mushroom headed M8 Screws and washers (B&Q), either a SS backplate, A Buddy plastic backplate, or just a couple of strips of stainless steel.

It all goes together fairly easily, and feels quite nice underwater. You can use proper pony clamps, or I actually used buddy twinning blocks (for a 7 litre).

Like I say, I post details later, but V easy to do.
