I am looking to get into a bp/w and have decided on the Apeks PSD WTX 30 wing and the OMS SS back plate with smartstream harness. From what I understand most wings and backplates will bolt together, but I cannot find anywhere if the cam strap slots line up. I was wanting to run a single tank without a STA if possible and that is the only issue I could see coming across. I have had no luck finding specs on either for the position or spacing of the slots/holes. Anyone have any input? Thanks in advance!

they don't line up completely, so 2 inch bands don't work. you can sort of get them to work with 1.5 inch bands.

you can cut the slots on the apeks wing longer to make it work also or use a sta.
 
I would opt to elongate one of the sets of slots on the plate before I would mess with the wing slots.
