Meg Counterlung harness

Lancer4545 · 20th November 2007, 02:09

I just received a new set of CL clips so I can make up a another light weight backplate mainly for when I travel.

I am using an OMS alloy backplate and a new Dive Rite TransPlate Harness, which is just the best thing for the Meg. It makes it super simple to slip in and out of not like the usual wriggleing and writhing it used to take!!

I just received a new set of CL clips from ISC to rig it all up and they have supplied a sewn harness with the top clips offset in a Y configuration. In the centre of the Y at the top is a loop which I guess is the lifting handle, which will come in very useful, and a long 2 inch vertical strap.

This may very well have been out for ages but my existing system uses 4 small 1 inch straps and I am a bit baffled as to the correct way to rig this new harness up.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Lance

That's your crotch strap! Clips are to clip down bottom of CL's

Yeah......That could be right but I don't think so.

The webbing is 2 inches thick and won't go through the slot for the crotch strap as they are only 1 inch and the strap is 3 feet long.......

If that fits you...That's some crotch!!!

And it has what appears to be a carry handle loop between the Y pieces.

ISC are going to send me some pics but they haven't turned up yet......

It's a one piece crotch strap, so the loop is for you to thread your waist belt through..
It's probably soo big because it's a one size fits all..

It kind of makes sense when I look at it now.........

Jeez, that loop sure would make a nice lift handle tho

If the crotch strap slot in your Back plate is only 1" you can probably fold the 2 inch webbing, ~1/2 inch on each side, and shove it through.
