What are these 4 bolts for on Boris

Drmike · 8th February 2006, 14:08

Hi, When I see pictures of the Boris with the scrubber removed there is always four stainless steel bolts sticking up around the edge of the head.

What are these for?

How is the scrubber cover held in place? Surely its not screwed down with these 3 bolts? Or is it keyholed in?

Cheers
Mike

The four screws hold down the scrubber lid.
Look at Janwillem's pictures from the Boot Show,
# DSCN2676, DSCN2677 and DSCN2678.

Hi Mike,
Maybe this picture you can better understand, it is center section with dome in place. I actually wrote an article some month ago with Boris naked but probably it is lost.
Best,

with my experience of 3 years Inspiration I think 3 Liter bottles are the minimum size for Ox and diluent to make 2 normal dives without offboard gas
for ex when on a day trip with rib for 2 wreck dives

Are the 2 Liter bottles of boris fixed integrated or can you change them to
bigger?
