My bailout attaches in a sort of modified side mount. I use a nomad butt plate but use a bungee with a bolt snap i thread around the neck of the bottle under the regulator. I have seen people who just loop the bungee over the tank valve have the tank fallout when making entry in rough conditions in the ocean so I prefer the bungee threaded around the neck under the reg. Keeps it secure and yet still pulls the tank up and out of the way while diving, plenty of mobility to pull the tank forward to access it.

Any chance of a picture of that, I'm looking for ideas?

I carry spring spring strap buckles carved out of hockey pucks.

Gotta see that, Upload a Pic!

Any more homemade mods going on people?

I was forgetting, I rig stage bottles with glow-in-the-dark cord and clear hoses.

:no: Evidence please.

Good idea though.

I'm just putting the finishing touches to my stage rigging (I'm not the tallest guy, so I've had to cut down the lengths to fit my frame) , problem is I can't get into the water until my trip next month. Will be taking lots of tools to Malta to finish the jobs I started in my garage.
 
It's more a gimmicky thing than anything with practical value. I went to buy cord for rigging and all I could find in the store I went was glow-in-the-dark. It's still perfectly suitable rot proof, braided plastic cord. Then, just to go along with the idea I got clear hose. It does glow, but the glow fades rather quickly.
