Backplate question...

[laughingsquid]

Quick question, can anybody tell me if Halcyon backplates are compatable with DiveRite wings and vice/versa? If so, would I need an adapter to mate the tanks to the unit?

Thanks!

I have never used a DR wing, but the H STAs and Backplates work with wings that have the standard 11" holes. Does the DR wing have holes 11 inches apart for a bolt?

 

[laughingsquid]

Yes, the bolts are 11 inches apart!

The bolts do measure 11 inches apart on the Halcyon backplates to be sure...

yes, i have a DR plate and a Halcyon plate, and i've used DR wings on both and Halcyon wings on both

FWIW, TTBOMK most wings will work with most standard-sized backplates.

This does not always hold true, however, for the MC storage pacs and pads that screw or fasten to the inside of the plates. Plates from different manufacturers are often cut differently or bent to different angles, resulting in some manufacturer's storage packs not fitting other manufacturer's plates. Here's a photo of the Halcyon MC storage pack (scroll down to "life support" at the bottom):
