Attached link are the instructions from OMS to restring a OMS Wing for use with side mount. This is for the OMS Wings that have retraction bands.

With thanks to OMS for providing these instructions

The wings still need an attachment point at the outer bottom edge to the waist strap otherwise it will taco. There may be a way to rig it up, but I'd have to see it on the harness first.

Maybe as simple as a loop of cord through the last band loop on the bc back to a slider on the waist belt.

I posted the instructions for an individual who now has an OMS wing and sms.

Finger is all glued up so no side mount pool work or ocean for at least a week. I did sneak a dive in Friday morning so not all bad.

I did the same thing with an oyster and oyster knife. But I got stitches (twice).

Lesson learned last night - Don't use a helmet/backup lights with back mount diving. Helmet will smack into the 1st stage making for a very unpleasant dive.

Somewhat annoying as I was trying to keep as close as possible to a standard configuration for my gear. Helmet for Back Mount only for now on.
