Zeagle Backplate & OMS Wing

[Pook-60]

Howdy

I've had a Ranger for a number of years now (and thanks for such a great design!). I'm looking to expand my diving by going to doubles and have purchased an OMS wing to start the journey.

In the spirit of flexibility I backed off the idea of an all OMS setup when I remembered Zeagle makes backplates too. I like the idea of having an option to move the backplate to my Ranger if...somehow...the separate doubles setup should have an issue. So...I've got a couple of questions:

1. Will an OMS wing (94lb, dual bladder...if it matters) readily fit on a Zeagle backplate?

2. Are the edges of the Zeagle backplate smoothed to limit wear on strapping?

Thanks Much
Dane

My Zeagle back plate is 6 years old with and has not worn out the straps in the slightest.

Awesome! Thanks for taking care of #2 Gibby.

Anybody (maybe...Mr Scott?) have an answer for #1?

Thanks

I don't see why the OMS wing would not work. The wing mounts under the tank and should have provisions for cam bands.

I see no reason why the OMS wing wouldn't work on the backplate...

Thanks Scott! I'll put the backplate on order.

94lb lift!
You sure that's enough?
