Not quite the same, but my kids and I are using BPW's that I made from scratch

Magnificent!

One of my first pony brackets I made was from a nylon cutting board

With a router

Hi Eric, using your freedom plate without wing any suggestion what to use for an STA?

Use the wedge. You have to use it to compensate for the curve of the plate and give the tank a flat surface to sit on. Don’t worry about the top, the tank will rest on the plate and be fine.

I used to keep the back packs until the pile became too high. They are like aluminum tank boots. Worthless. I have thrown away hundreds of them in the last decade.

I regularly dive vintage back paks in between diving plates and ccrs and bcds and harnesses I make for sidemount
and there really is not much more liberating for a quick single tank splash than a plastic pak of course in the ocean

The tank boots I do wish I had more of them to deaden the bell sound of all my aluminium storage of other gasses general use, also emergency O2, and all sorts of cylinders, when I crash them into my shiny pristine concrete floor


Now also considering that we are in the vintage forum of vintage things, the only thing worthless here is your post

I wish I could find somebody who considered it treasure. I hate throwing away stuff people could use. But when you have literally hundreds of something piled up, it eventually happens.

Put them up in classifieds and give them to people for the cost of shipping. That’s what I do.
Those might fit into a large flat rate box.
