Halcyon BP and Backplate Pack

[wetman]

Hello,

I've got a couple questions about the halcyon backplate pack and use with a double setup

If you have that backplate pack on, how do you get to your screws to take off the tanks? Or do you flip the screws around so you can somehow screw the tanks on from the outside with the screws protruding from the backplate?

Thanks

The wingnuts are on the side of the backplate that is against your back, in a recessed channel.

ya, thats what i though. but unfortunately, that recessed channel is covered up by the backplate pack..

for those of you who dont know what i'm talking about its this:

Its fairly easy.You can reach up under the pack or undo the the bottom two keepers on the pak which will expose the wing nut.

It is pretty easily reachable...
