Wanted:- 'Valve Protector' for inverted twins
Hi,

A long shot really but has anyone got a set of OMS manifold protectors that they don't want any more. I want some for my twin 12's.

I had a look at the Custom Divers ones and don't think they are man enough for inverted use. Unless you can tell me otherwise.

If there are any alternatives out there then please let me know.

Cheers
Stewart

If you change your mind over the Custom Divers Valve protector for twins, then I have one in excellent order. Reason for sale is that I wanted it to stop people lifting the tanks by the manifold but found the Halo was bit excessive just for that purpose and so got a lift bar instead.

I have seen many people using hte CD halos on inverts so would think they are up to a fair amount of abuse....

Secondhand ones seem to be going on ebay for about £70 + P&P so say £65 posted?

I used a CD double halo on my inverts for a year without problems. just keep checking the allen bolts to make sure they are tight and dollop a bit of grease onto them every now and again to ensure they don't bind to the aluminium.

NigelH used some on his inverts too IIRC..

go for it - they will be fine.

I used a customer divers halo for my inverted twins (10's) and didn't have any problems.

As in the previous post just keep checking the bolts are tight and I would advise a bit of lubricant in there to make removing them easier come servicing time.

surely these wouldn't be a very stable stand for inverts though - because of the bolts? Or am I missing something?
