Instruction on how to assemble the Ultralight back plate

[Venus]

Hello Apex

Do you have instructions on how to put the harness on the Ultralight backplate, I just can't figure it out

Ultralight Travel Plate

Thanks

It looks like you just bend the upper part of the harness into a "V" shape behind your back and the tri-glides hold it in place. The bottom part should be obvious.

Web harness? No different than a metal backplate

Thanks Everyone

I took my harness off the Eclipse ali plate, then realised that I couldn't figure out how to rig the Apex
Now, I've just put my Eclipse all back together and packed my luggage

Looks like I'll be unpacking, de-rigging and having another go

Happy New Year

Eclipse? If you're using an Eclipse wing without tank-band slots and a STA, this may not work at all....unless you put the STA bolts in backwards and cut them down to accept a lower profile (than, say, wing-nuts) bolt.......or maybe use book screws. Remember there's no channel to protect your back from the wing-nuts.

Yes, I have the two little brackets to hold the cylinder and wing nuts
I was wondering about the wing nuts digging into my back and ripping my dry suit
and I did earlier turn the bolts the other way around
but, of course I couldn't figure out how to thread the harness so I gave up

I'm going to have another quick look, and if I can't follow the photograph I'll leave it
I'm pretty sure I don't have any stainless steel nuts

Is that the cylinder band I see in the vertical slots?

Thanks very much

It looks like the same method used with the oxychek UL plate should work. Try this old thread: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/oxycheq/231916-oxycheq-ultra-lite-travel-back-plate-4.html
