Tank Bands: OMS? Highland? Dive Rite?

[Walter]

Thanks to Roakey's generous offer my .doc file is now available at the following site

http://www.underctek.com/open/boards/DIY_bands.doc

It takes a long time to load, so be patient. If you see blank spots that's where photos are still downloading.

Thanks Roak!

You may want to check out the DIY section at TYCHO, they have some EXCELLENT material to use for making just about ANYTHING you'll need in way of dive gear. I prefer the nuclear grade POLYKEN 226.

Highlands have a better(for salt water use tank bands) grade of stainless steel.

You didn't ask but you might look at the bands from Tech and Wreck on Ebay. They are made by Detroit Mud Puppy on this and other sites. I don't get a dime from him and have never met the man but I do use several sets of his bands and don't hesitate to recomend them.

As for the comment about the all thread as apposed to a bolt or cap screw please note that the major and minor diameters of a given thread size is the same for any comporable size fastner, and just for reference I believe that Victor / Detroit Mud Puppy uses 3/8" rod.
