Threading cam bands

[blue steal]

I used the inside slots on the plate without using a STA and it works just fine. However if you want to undo everything for travel, (I don't), you will have to unthread the cam bands.

Thread cam band through slot on one top side of wing, then thread down through slot of plate then up through the second slot on the plate and then up through the slot on other side of wing. Thread buckle and you're good to go. Hope this makes sense. Good luck.

Thanks all. Looks like that will work even though the slots on the BP don't exactly line up with the wing. Hopefully later this week I can get a tank strapped to it to ensure proper fit.

As long as there is no excessive tension on the wing and it does not cause the wing/plate to be on any strange angles you should be fine.

It works fine with the inner slots. You are right in that they don't at first seem to line up perfectly, but it works fine. Just came back from a 5 day liveaboard using the SS plate and 32# wing without an STA and it worked perfectly.

Just in case anyone re-reads this thread, I now use a couple of plastic book screws to keep the wing in-place

I found during one of my fundies dives that the wing had managed to somehow shift sideways when I had tightened up the straps, and was very difficult to use through the dive. With the screws the wing is now certain to stay centered. It also makes it a lot easier when changing tanks!
