Thanks for the reply. I'm a bit confused how to do this, however. If you look at the pics of my BP, the webbing seems to naturally course the back of the backplate, covering the bottom of the 2 holes. I'd have to bow the webbing vertically to get it to align with the top hole in order to put in a grommet.
The STA (Oxycheq as well) spans the plate fine, using either of the 2 sets of holes (note that there are 2 holes at the bottom of the plate as well, both obviously unobstructed, and equidistant from the top two holes). The height of the tank, however, was going to be my concern (haven't yet rented a tank to test the thing out).

No, you want it across the bottom of the two holes, and you want a hole and grommet in the webbing there.
If you mount on the higher of the two holes your tank will be too high and/or the plate too low. With a single you'll almost certainly ram your head into the tank and it will make you REAL head-heavy in the water.
My Halcyon plate doesn't have the "top" hole, and I wouldn't use it if it WAS there.
If you to to West Marine store you will find large grommet kits that will work just fine. They include a tool for punching the hole in the webbing as well as two iron pieces used to install the grommet and "form" the inside edges to lock it in place.
