Seeking advice regarding aging Halcyon Eclipse

[lnjohn]

I have one of the first Halcyon eclipse bp systems and it is finally staring to show its age. I have seams on the top of the bc and around the bc inflator cap starting to unravel. My dilemma is that I bought this BP off of ebay and am not the original purchaser. Hence no warranty. I have the SS plate with STA setup, I am considering going to the Hog wing or perhaps a DSS wing. Does anyone know if these or any other wings will line up with the current setup that I have. My other option is to go ahead and see if I can get the wing repaired, but I believe that I have had this for possibly over 10 years and many wonderful dives, locally and around the world. Scuba toys is having a sale on the 23lb hog wing which has a lifetime warranty, which is appealing at $199.
Thanks for any input

If you are comfortable using a STA most wings can be assembled to the plate. "Direct Mount" or "STA-Less" systems may have compatibility problems.

If you are diving So Cal, there is a good chance your exposure suit is 20+ lbs positive. You should verify that before buying any replacement wing.
