Info Scubapro Announces the new updated MK17 first stage, the MK17 EVO 2!!

My only nag is the need for a special tool ($$) to tighten the Mk11 diaphragm clamp. The torque is huge (310 in-lb/35 Nm) and all those holes are too close to the body to fit my hook spanner.
I can use a simple screwdriver with a torque cheater, but that's kind of ghetto.

I also have that one but I think Rob inferred a new design?

No, that's the tool I was talking about.
Annoying that they didn't make the diaphragm clamp/spring cap just a little taller so you could fit a common hook spanner. Maybe the Mk11EVO is different?

Doesn't look any different...

I hope it doesn’t need anything to weird but with SP you never know what sort of twists they will lay in front of us peons.

Spline nuts are EASY just find the flats with a tape padded shifter

GHETTO IS GOOD!

Someone should invent Molycote111 for threads
