Hi,
I bought a used Viking 90x drysuit a few months ago and I was thinking of adding suspenders. Seems like an easy project.
I went to a dive shop today to see how much were the tabs to attach the suspenders: 80$ parts, 200$ installed.
Seems a liitle bit too much for me. So I was wondering if anyone had done this themselves, maybe on a vulcanized rubber drysuit ?
I am wondering what kind of material is used for the tabs, where to get them and if there is a special procedure to glue the tabs to the inside fo the drysuit. The glue I have is used to vulcanize, I'm not sure it would work on the inside which is covered in fabric (nylon or polyester, I'm not sure)
Maybe a 4 pieces of neoprene would do the job ?
