It's fixed.. and better!!

jo_c · 6th January 2007, 18:48

As you may have read, my Meg was damaged by TSA as I was flying down to Mexico. Well, thanks to Curt and Mel

, the part to repair it arrived today.

As I had the toolkit out, I also decided to attach my shearwater..

..and my new Kent Tooling backplate..

All ready to go

. But probably going to be another week or so before I get the chance to go diving

Once again, a big thank you to Mel and Curt who provide help and support even after the course.

Jo....I hate you.

By you being the supreme gadget girl, not only do I find the coolest ratcheting reel (and ditchable weight system

) on my wish list, but now a matching back plate and plumbed Shearwater as well.

You are just a little kent tooling ***** now aren't you?

Glad to see you got it fixed, I cried little tears for you when I saw the damages, get some diving in so we can do tmix in the warmer months, my bits can't take any more cold!

One quick question please...

From the first picture, is that a dummy plug to keep the Swagelok O2 inlet clean ?

yes. Predictably you can get both male and female sides. $$$$$ though

Does anyone have the part numbers handy?

I should have the part numbers for the QC-6 connector somewhere...

The remaining question is the block end (i.e. knurled part in the pic), is it from Swagelok or after-market item ? ADDited: Never mind, a simple NPT plug fits it nicely, dooh!

Just though it was a nice idea, and want to know how effective it works in real life since I have used Swagelok for many years now without using the dummy-plug-protect connector.

...but I have plenty of spare Swagelok plugs handy in the dive room so just a matter of getting them out.

Swagelock part numbers for anyone interested..
SS-QC4-SP and SS-QC4-BP
The first one is for the hose end, the other is for the meg head end.

I'm sure I'll be back in Seattle some time this year
