Seeking any help for how to setup this harness. I bought a Hollis HTS and this harness was thrown in for free. I am trying to research instructions but have not found anything. I am familiar with the Dive Rite deluxe Harness and have replaced my Halcyon Eclipse single piece webbing, this is something different. I have extra D-rings and slides in my extras box, as I am sure there will be some of those needed. Any guidance or name of this harness is appreciated.

Thank you

Pic 1 shows a BP and appears to have appropriate length single piece strap ready to be threaded onto the lower slots and add the buckle. Guessing that bottom left are the waist straps for "H" configuration.

Pic 2 shows a sternum strap and "H" style shoulder straps.

Pic 3 shows "H" connectors for the waist strap.

Pic 4 not sure about the length of the strap, could be another continuous strap.

Pic 5, not sure what the question is.

"H" strap is something like shown here (may be side mount since it’s Edd).

That is what I was looking for this is an H style. I am trying to figure out how those bottom left waist straps tie into the H configuration. This helps as I'll look for some H configuration videos or images. Thank you
 
Red is shoulder attachment, feed through, double back and trim. Purple is either side waist. yellow is were shoulder straps attach to waist straps by feeding waist through the angled triglides. Then fit your buckle on the waist strap. Add drings as desired. You will need to make a crotch strap with some extra webbing and triglides.

Yes, I found a video and that is exaclty what it is. I have a Dive Rite Rec Wing that came with the Hollis Harness, so now I can see that the Hollis was an upgrade from the Transplate. I think I'll keep the Hollis, but selloff the Wing and backplate.
 
There we go, who needs Google when you have scubaboard.

You’ll probably want to move the lower pieces closer to the plate and flip them around so they face forward.
