Fusion: Necklace Zipper Replacement or Repair

[2nd_Cove]

Can anyone please answer to this post if How; or Where one can purchase a new replacement or replacing a Necklace Zipper for the Fusion Drysuit. I have scoured the internet and cannot find a single post, comment or advice on this subject.

Even the White's / Aqualung pages do not provide any answers or information on this subject. The closest i can find is an accessory relief zipper for $300.

Thanks

Do you mean the zipper on the skin?

let me know how it works out for you. i still think it may require a curved zipper.

Dive Right in Scuba claimed this 36" straight zipper was the one, i then verified with her the curved necklace front entry? and she responded yes, however i remember a post on their page stating these straight zippers won't work on the Fusion. Can't understand why it is so difficult to find a correct O.E.M. zipper?

What you read regarding the unsuitability on their webpage referred to the TIZIP that they sell.

except the brass zipper is also a straight zipper whereas the original zippers on a fusion drycore are u shaped. I just don't see how you glue a straight zipper into the curved opening of the drycore.

I can not say for sure but I think it is a straight zipper that has been installed on a curve. If you have a Fusion suit take a look at how the outside edges of the zipper support are distorted to accommodate the curve. Curved zippers are probably found near the skyhooks at your local hardware store. Personally I would have Dive Right In install one for me, they did great work installing replaceable seal systems on mine.
