Alibox and Metalsub mounts

King Neptune · 18th June 2007, 05:24

Hi guys,

Have any of you out there with relatively new Alibox's mounted Metalsub brackets on them?

Just wondering what the approach is. Have you made up a plate onto which you bolt the bracket, sandwiching the side of the Alibox between that plate and the bracket? Or are you just sticking with Cam-bands?

Obviously there's a cut-out on the side of the box that the Metalsub bracket slips into, but nothing to bolt it to.

Thanks for any advice.

Mike.

Mike,

Do you have any pictures showing how and what brackets to use on the back cover of the case?

Thanks

Mark

so far we've only tried the new box with the ap metalsub brackets and the plates (as per mike's pics above) - which worked really well

mrs vid will try the cam-band approach in a fortnight

Brent,

What different gases do you have in the 4 tanks ? Just curious...

I am guessing 2 x O2 on the right, 1 x trimix diluent on the left but what is in the 4th tank ?

This might be a stupid question, but wouldn't it be better with 2x7L instead of 4x3L?

nearly mate.

second dil gas for flushing the loop.
I took the pic before I had marked up the tank contents correctly. I can see the reason for the confusion.

I guess the above sorts that.
I usually have two rig configurations;

1, <75m, one dil, one O2 mounted on the unit and a 1.5ltr on the back clamp on the LH side with suit gas in.
2. >75m as pictured above.

I always carry stages and use a combination of a pair of 7's or 80's. I have two of each. Deco gas also has a suit hose on it.

Just ordered an Alibox from Michael. Can't wait!

Nice bloke. Replied to all my email questions on a Sunday night.

The write-ups in RBW made the decision even easier....
