Hi everyone!
I'm new to the forum (and only about 70 dives in), and I’m trying to put together a backplate and wing system on a tight budget. I’ve found a few components from different brands, and I want to confirm their compatibility before ordering everything. Here’s what I’m looking at:
From what I understand, the Tecline Donut 17 is designed to fit standard backplates with 11''/28cm spacing between the mounting holes, which matches the XDEEP BP.
Is there anything else I should be worried about compatibility-wise? Like bolt hole alignment for the wing and tank band slots or the width of the wing matching the backplate? Also it seems that STA is not strictly necessary is this setup.
I really can’t afford to make a mistake with sizing or incompatibility, so I’d appreciate any advice before purchasing. Thanks so much in advance!

- Wing: Tecline Donut 17 Wing (Single Tank)
- Backplate: XDEEP Classic Steel Backplate
- Harness: XDEEP DIR Harness (without backplate)
