Made a carbon fiber single tank backplate. Mares XR Wing doesn't fit it like I had hoped (they only have two tank slots, I wanted a single center one)
Fun project none the less, save a dive cf wrench cut outs on the side.
I really like the concept of the "save a dive wrench cut outs", that's pretty awesome and great thinking! My initial concern with that on a CF plate is whether or not the CF can tolerate actually using the slots to tighten/loosen nuts and bolts.... I'm not an engineer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express, and from my past experiences, Fiberglass and Carbon Fiber do not take forces on the Edge very well.... Maybe it could handle more abrasion and abuse if the edges were built up with extra resin, but again, I think it would still fracture, allowing water intrusion and de-lam.
