Greetings All
As a spring project, I have been piecing together a backplate and wing setup that I will try for singles in the cold quarries around home. I have never had the chance to dive one, but when the opportunity presented itself to acquire a few of the key components on the cheap, I jumped at it. I now have all the basic pieces and have started actually putting them together. Here is what I have:
DR Transplate harness
DR SS backplate
DR Venture wing
DR tank straps (2)
I have read that unless you are frequently switching from doubles to singles that the single tank adapter is not really needed and you can just thread the tank straps through the BP slots. However, when I put plate, wing and tank straps together, I wind up the tank sitting right on the head of the bolts that holds the wing and plate together. This makes things less stable than I feel they could be.
Have I done something wrong with my set up, or is this just something you deal with if you don't use a STA? Does anyone have a trick or work around that might help?
Thanks
