Sold! 5.5" Doubles bands

[TMurrr]

Bought too many sets in search of making the perfect "mini" doubles. I likely have a matching manifold and/or isolator too, PM if interested.

These are the standard 8.5" center to center spacing. Used with almost all modern manifolds. They don't have a stamp but I'm guessing they're DGX?

If someone happens to have a narrow 7.5" center to center isolator or manifold around, blue steel 190mm preferred, happy to workout a trade of sorts.

So, what configuration did you settle on for your perfect mini doubles? Initially I tried using my OMS/Faber LP46's (23" length), but in the end decided on my Faber LP50's, instead, primarily because the additional length (25") made them more comfortable to dress into and sit in (and to dive w.r.t. reaching isolation-manifold valves), and they work better for me for the times I want to dive doubles with my old-school single-outlet, solid bar US Divers J-valve manifold and DH reg.

I use 5.5" bands (similar to the bands you're selling) and my original (ca. 1994) OMS manifold. And a DiveRite wing and my original (ca. 1994) DiveRite alum backplate with a simple Hogarthian-ish nylon webbing harness with crotch strap.

Very pleased with this setup for deeper, solo, recreational, wetsuit diving.

I haven't decided final configuration, quite yet. I'd love to try the really narrow european style mini-doubles but they're rather hard to find US compatible bands/manifolds.

Right now I have:

A pair of LP45s
A pair of LP50s

(2) 8.5" ctc 5.5" manifolds - one is this one, other is blue steel and likely will be listed for sale too if I can find another narrower isolator to match my OMS 7.5."

(2) OMS 7.5" ctc manifolds - one has a matching blue steel 190mm isolator, the other is waiting for a mate.

I have a couple 8.5" ctc isolators, one is blue steel, one is compatible with DGX / Dive Rite I think, these are likely both for sale too.

I definitely have decided on the 7.5" ctc spacing better than the 8.5". I'm testing the LP45s vs LP50s with an halcyon 40 wing but the weather has been so bad lately In haven't had a chance to get out. Heck if I can go narrower on one set or the other, I likely will. I may also let one set go if I far prefer the 45s vs the 50s, we'll see.

I also have a DGX 8.5" ctc manifold, a pair of galvanized LP85s with matching bands. These will likely get listed too. I could sell them with singles and have brand new blue-steel 'pro' valves if I end up splitting up the set.

BTW, I just posted a couple of pics on post #9 here (Alpine soloist?).
