And you wonder why I'm a stickler for "torque to specification"...

Yeah, we'll mention this. It's a very old issue that should only affect a MK20 that's been hidden in a closet for fifteen years. It was sortof a design flaw that didn't account for shop monkeys overtightening yoke bolts. Scubapro redesigned the bolt. I'll send you the Service Bulletin, although I think it's here on the Board somewhere.

Whomever used this reg had ignored a critical service bulletin from over a decade ago. As @runsongas pointed out above, any Scubapro tech should have seen the red flag with three vents in a Mk20 saddle.
 
This one was reported, thank you. I wonder how many other brands/stages are not reported.

You'd hear about this kind of thing. Literally explosive.
 
I wouldn't be too quick to judge - As has been said, I too have seen a saddle re-used......

:holysheep: @abnfrog - you still try to find ways of injuring yourself.....

be safe my friend. Hoping Justin opens the door soon for a visit....
