Mix and matching.?
Hello all.

Recently bought a second hand TDB wing/harness/SS backplate. Should have tried it on i know before buying but too late now i guess. Anyway i lost a bit of weight recently and its now too big. Very slack and dragging the twins down my back even with the straps pulled up to their tightest.

I fancy a OMS Q-pack harness but can i put the TDB wing and backplate on it or will they not fit.

Any advice well appreciated.

Balders.

Surely it's just a matter of adjusting the harness either at the shoulders, the waist or a little of both??

Is it a CD plate and harness like the one showen here http://customdivers.com/images/tdb_technical_8.jpg?

Bladers, the harness you hav e is completely adjustable. Under the neoprene shoulder covers is where you need to look.


It's a complete CD harness and will fit anyone from Andy the Commie to me!!

Doh!!
Doh!!

I think i have done it now. I was trying to adjust it below the clips before but i think i have sussed it now. Just need to try it out one day soon.

Juz,,, the wing works fine, no problems and i am happy with it. A couple of those little plastic buckles were broke when i first got it but i have replaced them now. Other than that,. no probs

Thanks again guys.
