Well I found it on my own. Don't know why no one wanted to help. Here it is if anyone else wants it.

FKD - Deco Bottle Rigging

Well maybe because not too many people are making their own "sidemount rig". Had you asked for homemade stage or deco bottle rigging you'd have gotten a bunch of replies. It was a simple misunderstanding of terms.

The link posted has isn't for sidemount diving.

Sidemount Diving Explained

Here's how I made my sidemount rig: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/si...ject-frankenstein-my-diy-sidemount-trial.html

I made a Fauxmad a couple years ago using a Oxycheq travel plate and a Rec Wing. If you'd done a search you probably would have found it.

But then again, even though that's what you asked for it's not what you wanted anyway...

We made our own sidemount rigs about ten years ago because there really weren't any available at that point. I can tell you that there was some serious trial and error involved. I did end up with a pretty good rig and yes I'm still diving it, but I'd suggest going straight to Cave Adventurers and having Edd set you up. You'll accomplish in two days what took me at least a year--it's well worth the money.

more options. Much of it is personal preference.

Guys, if you look at the link he found that was what he wanted you'll see he was not looking for sidemount. He was looking for stage bottle rigging.

It does not help that the wikipedia article had a backmount diver with deco bottles on the sidemount page for several years.

Like it or not Wikipedia is where the world turns for overview type info on everything.

Sidemount - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dammit it is still there. Whoever is watching that page has their head up their ass. People, who know what they are talking about, keep deleting that picture and the stupid person who is watching the page keeps reverting the picture to the backmount diver with deco bottles.
