Ebay - it's standard electrical stuff. I'm sure Maplin stock it too.
If I can find the box I see if I still have some of the right gauge I can let you have.

where do you guys mount the lead on the hoses, its the one thing i've been thinking about but not done anything about yet. I find the mouthpiece does push up but its not too uncomfortable, how much lead is required to make the mouthpiece neutral?
I've been playing about with the location of the weight quite a bit.. too close to the mouthpiece and I get jaw fatigue, too far away and it keeps pulling up. I have a couple of rings now about 20cm either side of the DSV and anotehr further up the loop.

I drilled a couple of holes in the top side edge (where the manifold would sit) of the CL case and use bungee straps to hold the loop down. The loop is still a pain in current situations, but I don't think I would like to have it firmly strapped to the harness.. Zak, does that not restrict head movement too much???
