The valve rig on your tank looks odd. I don't have my glasses so it is hard to tell what you have there exactly. Valves today are somewhat longer than they used to be a few years ago. You would probably have better luck with a tank that was not shapped like a barrel. That netting is not helping. The tank hitting the head is one of those dirty little secrets of the BP/wing world. I had been using the plastic plates with a wing since about 78 but only popped for a metal "tech" plate a few years ago. Immediantly I noticed the same thing, the regulator/valve was hitting me in the head in the most annoying fashion.
I had and still use a Hammerhead but also have a Halycon and a Oxy plate now plus a Freedom Plate and two plates I built myself as protoypes. Early on I thought the plate was to long, I am 5-11 and I see your 6-2 so your not a short fellow are you so a standard plate ought to work for you.
1. I lengthened the shoulder straps and shortened the crotch strap. The plate quickly finds the notch in the lower back beyond which it does not want to set any lower especially when in the water and horizontal. When you have it to that point there is no point in attempting to drop it any further, that is where it sits on YOU naturally. Set your harness to hold it there.
2. Yeah, yeah, STAs are no good, well read on dear polly wog cuz I think you need one. Don't let the bad old toad frog tell ye different, you need one, it will help you out. I like the Diverite stainless STA because it is fairly thin and does not weigh much as a result. The thin build helps me cut it. I take the STA and set it on the plate and usually line it up with the bottom edge of the plate and then look and see where the holes (to mount STA to plate) fall. If this alignment is close then I go with it but if the provided holes mount the STA high then I redrill the holes in either the STA (preferrably) or the plate (lastly)and hopefully neither.
3. Now that we have the STA positioned as low as practical on the plate we are off to a good start on our adventure to end your head ache. Yeee haaaaaa, not woooooo hoooooo. Now take your plate and your mounted STA (get that silly airbag off there for the time being to help us out here bud) and set it up to your tank. Mount the lower camband through the lower STA slot please. Did I tell you to loose the silly netting, please get rid of that, it hurts my eyes and it will mess us up here. Mark on your new STA where the upper camband needs to be to remain safely below the top edge (shoulder) of the tank. Remove your ugly barrel shaped tank and set it aside for the moment and let's take a gander at what you have. I bet the new marks are well below the provided slots in the STA and probably well below those in the plate. Have you ever noticed that lot's of people, about 85% of the diving world only use one camband, well never you mind them, obviously the world is not knowing what they are doing cuz you all is tech divers and you know better and ya got's two of everything. Soooo. (Using one would end your problem though wouldn't it?)
4. We gonna do one of two things. Measure out and using a high speed wheel (pneumatic) cut a new set of slots, drill the end points and cut between and fisnish with a file and then a Scotchbrite wheel. Or the poor man solution for the weenies who have no tools is to simply loop the upper camband under the STA--YEP---that works really good to simply loop in under and now you can slide it up and down to fit multiple cylinder styles with no effort, cinch the wing nuts back tight and the upper camband will sit just pretty as you please. Now your tank will sit much lower than before.
BTW, I have now done this over the last, oh, three years or so about a dozen or more times for scaryboard members---FREE. I just don't have time to cut anymore, please buy one of the new copies or cut it yourself or do the "camband under" trick.
6. Now mount your tank and air bag to the plate, put it on and look it over. I bet you can now resize your shoulder straps and maybe even shorten them just a touch. Lets look at that air bag you guys call a wing. I bet it sits to high now compared to your tank, yep, if it does set it down to the lower mounting holes if possible, depends on wing and plate but most have three sets of holes to move the wing up and down, put the wing down--ie--the plate a high on the wing as you can for now.
Now sombody is going to probably tell you I am wrong, maybe, but I am not the one with my tank hitting my head anymore am I! I also have no vested interests in defending any brand. I mix, match, modify to suit and sometimes if need be build my own better in every way. Please feel free to use, copy or mutilate the "Nemrod Mod" as you see fit. There are several folks out there now who have done so before the gurus accepted there was a problem (if they have yet done so) and they, like me, no longer have a dented head.
There is also a singles plate called the Freedom Plate, view that thread please, his newest design uses a rail type mount that should allow the tanks to mount low or high as required.
Hope this helps you, your plate, your air bag and fat tank to live happily ever after together.
