dimensions on hose weights

[robinfante]

Hello all. I just trained on the sport kiss, and really like it. About the only thing I don't like about it is the hose weights, which are basically a string of lead mashed into the corrugations. I far prefer the weights on the inspiration, but from what I've heard they run about $30 a pop (and more like $75 for Dragers!) As I have a machine shop, I am inclined to make up a batch, and was wondering if anyone could send me dimensions. thanks

I can send you a sketch with dimensions for the Drager hose weights. Are you sure the Sport Kiss has the same hose as the Drager?

I checked and they look identical, certainly close enough that the hose weights will work. I appreciate you checking that out.

cheers

I'll have the sketch to you next week. All of my diving gear is on my boat about 60 miles away.

thanks bryan, but it looks like I got it covered. a buddy loaned me a set of inspiration weights yesterday, which I'm going to copy. if anyone needs some let me know, I'm going to do polished 316 SS for a little more weight.

Rob,
I'm including the sketch anyway because if these dimensions match what you are going to fabricate I might be interested in purchasing two from you.

Upload didn't take. I'll have to figure this out...

I made up a batch of them, and am sending them out to be chrome plated today. I should have them back by the end of the week. Anyone interested, let me know at robinfante@aol.com

thanks
