KUDOS to Deep Sea Supply

Bubble Boy · 17th June 2005, 11:37

Hi Tobin,

Thanks for the fantastic service. My bits came with Chris's so I'm looking forward to getting them off Chris. Can't wait and will be used a Dive Rite Transpac just to prove what a stroke I am!
And I get to go to Steve's farewell

Get some shots up on your page Chris, so I can see what you've done.

Good to see the wicked weazle website came in 'handy'.

One for the churchy types?

Would have understood you moving to Byron Bay, but Perth ...

Oh well, won't be at your farewell party either, so

Enjoy the party!

Thanks Tobin
I have had the tools out for the afternoon and had a good play, seems like it is going to work a treat.

Just need to keep the counterlungs flush with the shoulder harness, was thinking of cutting down the backplate hearness so it works the same way SMI have done it by using the counter lung as the shoulder section.

Thoughts ?

Cheers
Chris

Not sure I follow Chris. On the two I've personally installed we did not "cut down" anything.

Just bolted up the adapter plate to the ABS plate, fitted a wing (our LCD 50 BTW) , fitted the Counterlung Yoke, and backplate.

With this approach the CL's are no longer load bearing part of the harness, but can be well secured using the waist attachments and the chest strap on the CL's.

The "Spring Line" (one inch strap on near the bottom, diagonal down and to the outside) on the CL's was not used.

Regards,

Tobin

Thanks Tobin
Easier just to take a photo. Thinking about using the outside clip to hold the lung a little more flush to the chest, by sewing in a clip as seen in blue? Still not load bearing, but would hold the outside of the lung down more.

Cheers
Chris

Chris,

We did almost exactly what you are proposing on the first two machines I adapted, and subsequently found both users really could not tell if the "spring Lines" were clipped or not.

Took em off, never looked back..........

I am diving in the morning so will let you know how it goes.

Cheers
Chris
