I have recently received my new HOG BPW set up (Thanks Jim Lapenta) but I feel like i have been pestering Jim with questions so i thought i would ask all of you. I have the bolt to go through the second hole down on the back plate to secure it to the wing, but my cam strap runs right inbetween that hole and the wing hole, should i cut a hole in the cam band and singe it to keep it from freying or where can i find a grommet to put in the cam band. Or is there another way of doing this that i just dont know about.
Also, i used to wear 19 lbs of weight with a 7mm wetsuit with the vest stylle BCD, I am diving for the first time this weekend with the gear and dont want to waste my first dive fumbling with weight issues. Anyone know a rule of thumb when it comes to calculating weight for the back plate. I want to reduce the time i am messing with weights, which i know i will have to do anyway but want to try and jump in the water with close to the right amount of weights.
Thanks,
Jed

....or is there a you tube viedo that shows how to do this, also i have excess legnth for the harness, can i just cut those and burn them?
