attaching brass spg?

fullbore · Apr 11, 2006

Hi,
I'm looking at the OMS brass 52mm spg but I've noticed that this unit doesn't appear to have any attachment points like the plastic / rubber ones.
Can anyone tell me what the best type of attachment would be?
Not sure whether I'll attach it to a hip d ring or chest.
thanks

I tied a bolt snap onto mine around the base using nylon "cave" line. It works great for clipping the spg off to whatever you'd like to clip it to.

Get a short stainless bolt snap and tie it the hose near the SPG.

About the hose lengh and the attachment point. Think about poor viz condidtions where you need to put the SPG 4 inches from your mask to read it but most of the time you can read a 2 inch SPG while it is clipped to a hip d-ring but I can't see my chest d-ring. It's good not to have to un-clip but

Hmmm
They sent you one with no way to attach it huh?
Well,send it to me and I'll work out all the kinks and send it back to you,with drawings and instructions for use.
And since you are a member of ScubaBoard,I wont even charge you.

Brass and Glass - a bit surprised no-one has linked you up yet. Here ya go:

You can use cave-line: http://www.diveriteexpress.com/library/boltsnap.shtml

or an o-ring: http://www.scu.edu.au/schools/esm/staff/pages/shartley/projects/gear/spg_gauge.jpg

around the metal swivel area.

Or, you can even use a (gasp) zip-tie.

I'm lazy, a slab of bicycle innertube, or if you have access to a parachute rigging loft, webbing keepers.
Snaps are easier but I prefer the "low tech" approach.

It arrived including a rubber type housing with an attachment point on it at no extra charge (wasn't pictured when I purchased it) BONUS ! and I got a brass snap coil lanyard that extends to 36" for only $5 on special for purchasing it to attach to my BC

Very happy!

OMS and DR gauges come with the boot. In fact if you read the catalogue it says the warrantee is void if you dont use a boot.
