GETTING SIDEMOUNT TANKS TO BEHAVE THEMSELVES AND SIT WHERE THEY SHOULD

By Steve Lewis One of the least mysterious things about sidemount diving is how to rig a set of steel primary cylinders so they hang at divers sides as they are supposed to, rather than hanging pen…

Well I'm not a sidemount diver this is what I do when diving sidemount in my steel bottle environments

Building my own sidemount gear since AD 2000 ish

Remember when all those fixings were steel to steel

thanks goot some good points but i think i know where my problem is just can seem to finde a solv witch he sadly dont get into.
(i cant move the dring on the wing further back and the carabin is put almost directly to the bottel so no sting to remove there)

Need a picture of your rig. Immovable d-rings and carabiners raise red flags.

Usually, I think, there would be just ONE of those square d-rings and it would be in the middle of the back-bottom of the BCD. Yu'd clip both bottles to that same square d-ring, one on each side. Carabiners are not usually used, but rather bolt-snaps, since they are not as likely to allow for a line to get caught in them.

I can't really see from this picture what your rigging is. It looks like the hose-clamp on the bottle has a metal ring on it to a carabiner(?) that is through the base of a bolt-snap that is attached to one of your square d-rings. Is that correct?

That looks pretty good, so long as the height of the hose clamp is correct.
So you are NOT suing a buttplate....just d-rings on the waist band? That can be awkward for steel bottles.You might find these references good expenditures:
