How do you determine your spacing for the bottom clip?
I am pretty committed (this month) to the DiveRite Nomad Ring Bungie, because it solves some problems for me, but I have noticed that with the aluminum tanks I use the fact that the tanks are much further down by the sides, means that butt floatiness is a 'problem', which I solve by ignoring it or by moving to front clips.
And it made me wonder how people who have their tanks higher up under the arms with other systems determine their spacing. Is it simply mechanical (distance between mount points) or is there some effort to make the spacing counteract how the tank rides?
Also as a side note: SEA Cousteau first stages make standard 80 ride almost vertical from 1500 PSI down. It's kind of funny.
