Convert yoke to DIN? X-5 1st stage

[Kev Skellern]

Hi,

I have a Yoke X-5 first stage which I have had for many years and are very happy with it. I have started using (and teaching) sidemount and brought a new set of regs, but I would like to use my ol' faithful X-5. Is it possible to purchase a conversion kit to change it from a yoke to a DIN as I use DIN tanks for the course?

Thanks for any help you can provide

Kevin,

I waited to see if anyone would chime in, but here is my 2 cents. Although I have not done this on a Seac regulator I have done this on other brands due to customer requests. When you bring your regulator in for its annual service have them order the parts that will make it a DIN, this way they can take it apart for the servce as a yoke and put it back together as a DIN when the service is completed. Anyone that is certified to work on regulators and is a Seac dealer has access to the parts. If needed I can supply you with the part numbers. We have not charged any extra for this since we completely take a reg apart during th annual service, just charged for the extra DIN parts. Hope this helps

Thanks Pete, was hoping to do it myself but now I can talk to my supplier and see what he says. Cheers for the info
