SPG's All The Same?

Ok my brian isn't exactly working right on this one. If you take it out of the boot how and where do you attach it to your harness?

Gauge -->ziptie or folded O-ring (not the one from D.C.) at the base of the HP hose (where it meets the gauge)-->large boltsnap-->d-ring on left hip in BP/Wing harness or any d-ring on BC that will ensure slim profile in H20.

I'll look for a link with pics...

This uses caveline instead of an o-ring or a ziptie...lots of different opinions on this one. Better to start a new thread for that firefight...

Ahhhh I get it now. If you could find pics I'd appreciate it and the coke's will be on me.

With SPGs, longer is not better - most HP hoses are 30", however if you decide to attach a bolt snap and clip the hose off to a low D-ring on your left side, a 24" hose routes much nicer.

Good call. I forgot to mention that you might want to replace the HP hose if you are planning on doing this kind of thing with a harness.

I'm a pretty tall guy so I actually DIDN'T - *eek* - replace my hose. I still find that with a 30" hose, the SPG basically lays flat against my side and that the boltsnap is flush with the left hip d-ring.

Thanx for the pic KKM. Isn't it easier to see the gauge if it's clipped off on a cest D-ring? Or do you keep the tip warp or o-ring loose so it slide up and down the hose and you can leave it clipped off and still slide it up? I'm not sure if I'm saying this right I hope you guys know what I mean.

I use the cave line method which here is the link for directions to tie it.

Hope that helps
