Doubles on a Nighthawk?

[dad+2]

Recently I contacted Scubapro about if it was possable to use doubles on a Nighthawk BC...they replied that it was no problem if I used bands with a "bow"... OK ,whats a "bow"?
my LDS don't know and Scubapro says they don't deal in parts.... so any ideas?

if I knew what I was looking for maybe it can be fabricated

so any ideas?

Well my idea would be to Ebay the Nighthawk and buy a BP/W. But I suspect that is not what you want to hear.

It may be one of the sets of bands that have a cross piece between the rings. LIke those used on the old backpacks. this piece is connected about 3/4 or better around the bands and forms a more or less flat surface as opposed to the deep "V" that usually holds the bolt. You may want to ask in the vintage forum for a better description. Otherwise I'd take Ian's advice and get the BPW.

Its basically a hoop that sticks out from the bands. I have seen them once in real life, but I don't know anyone who sells them. You will probbaly need to look abroad, like Italy to find any. Everyone in the US is using backplates and wings, and the bow is incompatible with these.

If you are considering doubles, then a BP/W setup is the best way to go.

Ebay it now... and get a BP&W

one more vote for BP/W

Scubapro Europe had the bands to convert their bc's for smaller twinned tanks. I have never seen them anywhere in the US so you're going to have to do some Googling to find someone over there to ship them to you.

+1 for a BP/W

harp bands are what is you want , a BP/W is what you need.
