Couple of questions for anyone feeling helpful

I am going to be using a wing and single tank. My questions are...

1. How Do I attach the wing to the backplate? DO I use nuts and bolts of some kind, bungie, umm?
2. Can someone recommend a single tank adapter (ideally one that will fit a dive rite rec wing and combro backplate?)

Cheers!

Garf

<font color='#F52887'>I cant comment on the diverite/combro but the wings that I use (custom divers TDB and a buddy Tekwing) both have fixings to stop the wing wrapping itself round the single tank and they are not needed to be fixed with a twinset for the obvious width of the 2 cylinders. CD has bolts through the backplate and the Buddy uses the waist belt webbing passed through guides on the wing bladder itself.

Ask away it is how we all learn.

I am guessing by your reference to a single tank adaptor that you are using a single cylinder (They don't call me sherlock for nothing Actually they don't call me sherlock at all, but I digress).

I have a Combro plate and diverite recwing so might be able to help.

With banded twinset, the bolts from the twinset go through the holes in the wing, through the backplate and are secured usually with wingnuts.

With singles, because the Combro has camband slots top and bottom I just use two cambands to secure the cylinder. &nbsp;I don't bother with a single tank adaptor. &nbsp;Once the cambands are tightened around the cylinder then the wing is sandwiched between the cylinder and the backplate and is not going anywhere.

I can post pictures if it really helps but I do not find a single tank adaptor required.
