I guess I should've use the phrase old old school loop bungees. I basically use the Edd's style of bungee that I made myself.

It's looking good, did you get a few dives in this year on it? I'm taking my Z harness down to Mexico next month with the z trim and wife will be using the delta. Let me know how the butt plate works, being 6'3" I'm wondering if it might improve my already outstanding trim.....
I've used the single bungee and the bungee with clip ( homemade) and I'm not a fan of the chokers, just don't seem to work for me (cold water, dry gloves), the bungee w/ clip is versatile but I like simplicity if it works and you can't get simpler that a piece of bungee.
that's the Manta wing, right?
You are not going to want to use the butt plate diving al80s in Mexico. As we all know, they get floaty as you use them. You will wind up with what they call "butterfly wings" down there. Or another visual reference would be, you look like the Enterprise off of a Star Trek movie, with your tanks being the engines.
its really not that bad, just use some large bolt snaps!
I dive a Nomad XT in very cold water, 35f, and use the ring bungees. I did find it a pita until I got very big bolt snaps; the small ones were almost impossible to manage, particularly post-dive when my hands were kinda cold.
To the OP: nice looking rig
Yeah i got to play with my sms in some 32f water up here, and hopefully at the morrison sometime soon too, large bolt snaps with dry gloves are key
