(Sorry if this thread exists, but I couldnt' find mention of this issue).
1. I'm brand-new to DIR, "speculatively," since I haven't any formal DIR training. I'm thrilled to have found DIR, I'm completely on-board with the concept. I've been diving since '77, PADI.
2. I'm assebling my own backplate/harness/wing/single tank system. I have followed the isntructions for weaving the harness found on the GUE adn other sites. So far, so good, except my single piece harness webbing is a bit shorter than I'd prefer.
3. The question: the harness webing has a stainless grommet in the middle that crosses the backplate at the top-center mounting hole; will this piece of webbing and grommet tilt the single tank adapter, and should it perhpas be balanced with a similar piece at the bottom? And, if the STA top bolt doesn't go through the center (webbing) hole, should there be a bolt for the webbing?
Thanks,
jv
