Hmmmmm... Smokin' idea! :)

Diving the 'Ross is definitely a "game day" dive - so I'm not sure that 20 miles offshore would be a good demo... But it certainly would be uber-cool. I dunno - I'll have to think about the logistics of that and kick it around...

What we really need for a demo day would be perfect conditions and the ability to get everyone in and out of the water easily... Sounds more like a spring dive to me. :)

The 'Ross - too exclusive for a demo day. Maybe just you, Chris and me... I'll also bring Kym and a buddy with a 47' boat so we're all super-comfortable.
 
Okay, so I just reset the bands and in doing so discovered that one tank is about 1/16" shorter than the other one, so I figured I would just add a 2nd tank o'ring to even them up.......... :D

What I did was just lay them down on my opolished cement basement floor, then very carefully began tightening the band bolts down one at a time about a 1/2 turn each, back and forth until they were rock solid but still allowed for the manifold cross-tube to still move freely.

Yep, about 1/16" off which really doesn't surprise me too much since 1 tank is a Catalina and the other is a Hymark.

I also moved the upper band up about 3/4 of an inch, because it appears that one neck is tapered ever so slightly different that the other and I'm as high up as possible without creating any gapping on one side. I positioned the lower band so that the bolts catch the same position bottom hole as what is used on the top, which as I understand it would be the correct "universal" spacing even though I haven't seen any actual info written in stone.

I'm dead on then, thanks! :)

I was actually surprised that the install sheet that came w/ the Highland bands didn't indicate that distance, because they had about every other possible measurement covered.
