kent tooling 5mm is a bit of a beast and about half the price of the Agir Brokk one!

I can recommend the backplates that Woz makes Backplates and stuff
The heaviest one is 4kg though.

I'd say the 5kg is heavier than the 6kg.

If you're using it with an inspo the agir one is flatter and fits better, it's what l use.

Have you lost some weight then DUDE

We at kent Tooling can manufacture what ever profile you require as long as we have the tooling to do the form in the thickness of plate you require.

Have a word with Scribley on here. She dives a Meg and if i recall, some of the backplates she tried came pretty close to those garden pond filter hose thingy's that pop out the top of that big black drain tube thingy! Might save you a few quid for the sake of a PM.......
