Help! Rethread DIR Harness

[jc2]

I had to buy an Aluminum backplate and lighter (separated) single tank holders to keep bag under weight limit. I've only setup the harnesss one time. When I first did it I found some good diagrams of how to setup the harness (and adjust it), how to thread the waist buckle and the tank threads properly (it's a little more tricky than one might thing.) I need to move the harness and tank straps to the new backplate setup. (I don't dive often enough to maintain two setups, but now that I am recalling it's not so easy/quick, I'll probably buy another harness setup.)

But I'm on a plane tomorrow so I just through all the parts in a bag.

It seems the old links to the GUE backplate pages are to pages that no longer exist.

Can someone please throw me a bone to some good diagrams and/or pictures showing proper backplate harnes setup and buckle and tank strap threading.

Much appreciated!

Here's how to thread backplate using standard webbing...

Threading Standard and Deluxe Harness Webbing

Not sure what you mean by tank threads... Sorry

Here's a step by step guide to lacing.

Don't do a me and cut off the excess webbing when you think it's right
Now i have to have my buckle in the middle and everyone thinks i'm a nonce

We also put together a video on doing it... Now keep in mind, there are options on how everything is done... but you might want to check out this:
