Are you interested in a set of BM-CL if it is commercially available ?

BTW, poll is anonymous so feel free to participate.

***schford*** · 22nd November 2005, 14:48

Once the design is "out of the bag", you could really use it for any unit that uses OTS-CL. For example, I have tried it on the Sport-KISS to introduce a water-trap.

This is just a commercial survey to see if it is worth starting to source a manufacturer to produce these in large quantities.

It is not yet decided how the BM-CL will be sold: in ready-to-use format or some minor mod (5-10 min work) is needed.

Any luck making the CL inners too. Stuffing the standard AP CL inners inside your new back lungs is a little messy and has too many holes....

My first post, hi all.

Welcome you traitor!

Yes, both components are tentatively "sourced". I just need to make a decision to pursue it or not...

Sorry to be dense!
These are counter-lungs from another maker (BM ? bio-Marine?) which can be used on an Inspiration.
Any photo's/sizes.

There are some pics of the DT BM-CL already on either Divemole or rebreather.NL websites.

In the past, they were built in small quantities by stuffing the APV plastic inner-lungs into a custom-made CL case designed by Dave Thompson. And use the existing APV T-pieces came with the unit.

So in short, the T-pieces sit in the same relative positions but the CL is in the "back" and still a little over the shoulder instead of the front.

We are now in the process of thinking about making a large batch of these components and optimize the design at the same time as well.

Sorry that I have to be vague, but I don't want someone to "runaway" with the design since it is Dave's baby.
