Smile Custom Divers TDB and twinning bands
I'm off to the Red Sea in September and I would like to use my wing/backplate to twin up a couple of indie cylinders. I'm thinking of getting the Buddy twinning bands but how do I attach these to the wing/backplate combo?

Any hints, tips or experiences would be greatfully received.


Thanks

John

It depends on the backplate - is it a CD backplate?

Does it have slots for cambands?

It’s pretty easy really then.

One set of bands go around the bottom of the cylinders with the spacer block. This set does not have to go to the back plate, they are just to keep the cylinders stable.

One band through one set of back plate slots and a blue spacer block, the other band through the other set of slots and through the same blue spacer block.

Slip it over the cylinders (that already have the bottom band fixed and it's all done!

I've never used the set up on a CD wing, but have on others and it was fine. Chasey has used the exact system that you intend to use on numerous occasions, I'm sure he'll be along soon with advice.

Juz prety much covered it.

I started out with the AP buddy bands and block at the bottom and buddy block and bands at the top but in the end I just used two cam bands in the CD slots and didnt bother with anything else.

It worked just fine
