Newer bands are standardized on 8.5" centers. Older bands who knows it was all over the map.
If you find someone making 6.9" bands in 2025 I'll be surprised

From a vintage perspective, too thin too broad and look really stoopid
Yup...I have a vintage set of double bands [narrow] with ScubaPro backpack that I wish to match with new cylinders....hopefully the center to center is 8.5" since I have a great solid manifold already [one of the XS black manifolds made for military]....all this to primarily dive my double hose regs....ideally looking for lighter weight 50-60Cf bottles....
Appreciate any information.....
