Does anybody know where I can get a set of doubles bands for 7.25" AL63s with 8.25 centers for a US Divers center tap manifold? Everything I've found has 8.5" centers.
Looking 7.25" double bands

No. Those are on 8.5 inch centers. My manifold is 8.25". My manifold is a US Divers single post, center tap manifold like was used in the mid '70s and before.

I have two Navy non mag tanks (7.625" D) on a USD 8.25' manifold ( the non mag manifold was 8.75") and had to make the bands for them.

Thanks for the replies, guys.
I have three of the one-piece US Divers manifolds that I bought brand new from military surplus. I have one on a set of AL53s with an old set of bowed bands on a Healthways plastic campac. I want to put together another set of slightly bigger doubles using one of the other manifolds. The manifolds are made with 8 1/4 inch centers and modern bands don't fit right.
I've been scouring the Internet and today I found these:
7.25 Inch Stainless Steel Cylinder Bands "Dual Hole Model"
They look like what I'm looking for, so I'm gonna order a set. I have an old Dive-Rite backplate to mount them on, so I should be pretty much set to go.
