Kriterian,

There's no bolts for the O-Pac - a simple solution to holding the wing in place is some mouthpiece ties (aka zipties) through the pairs of grommets in the O-Pac and the wing (assuming you've got an OxyCheq wing).

Thanks for the help with securing the wing Ben, and yes it's an Oxycheq wing (18 lb lift).

Did you understand my question about the cam strap bands? I'm just not sure how to adjust it for easy on/off on the tanks.

Also, speaking of the two cam bands. Since they're attached to the harness itself, does that mean I can't use the O-pac for double tanks later?

Thanks again
 
The camstraps are a breeze - especially when wet. I don't have one sitting here in front of me at the moment, but if you unthread the last tab, and use the tail of the camstrap as a lever, you can pull the strap tight on the tank very easily - the webbing simply slides through the buckle slots. Rethread that last slot, and close the cam buckle. Use the velcro to hold down the excess tail. It's not a buckle design unique to the O-Pac.

Re doubles - the camstraps simply unthread from the O-Pac - they're not permanently attached. There are mounting holes for doubles, but I've never attempted mounting them myself - I think Patrick Duffy has an accessory in the works for easily mounting lightweight doubles to the O-Pac. I haven't seen the new accessory, just aware that it's a work in progress - I don't know what size tanks it can handle up to.
 
Thanks for the tips and the heads-up on the doubles set up, I appreciate it. I'm sure I'll be able to try out the cam bands better once I actually have a tank sitting in front of me.
