Let me know what you think. I've recently decided to start using a pony as a back-up air source on deeper dives. I picked up this 13cf and put my old Oceanic Delta on it.
I made the bracket this weekend out of 1/4 ABS and it's attached to the tank with a standard tank strap. Pony will stay in bracket and move from tank to tank via it's own strap.I'm planning to leave the 2nd stage bungied out of the way while diving.
What do you guys think?

I like it. Post more pics of how it all straps together...just curious and maybe thinking of stealing your design ;)
 
Well, the weather finally let me get out and use it this weekend. I was really happy with it once I moved some weight over to the other side to compensate for it so I'd stop listing.
It was comforting to know it was there solo diving in 100'
The whole rig cost me very little as I had all of the materials for the bracket in the garage. Some black abs sheet, a few stainless hose clamps, and a spare tank strap.
