Eric,

Have you tried to fit the plate to a DSS LCD wing by any chance? Just wondered how that would fit?

Thanx
 
And here's how a large looks with red webbing - HOG 32 Freedom Contour.jpgHOG 32 Freedom Contour2.jpg

Sorry it took so long to upload these. I did dive it two weeks ago and it is now my go to coldwater and general singles use rig. Holds an LP 95 rock steady and in perfect position. Trimming out took all of five minutes by adding a couple xs scuba weight pouches to the cam bands as I was diving dry and needed a little extra on the rig to keep it off my belt. I was also using a DSS plate with the bolt on weight plates before I switched the wing over to the Freedom plate. The Freedom was much more comfortable.
 
Jim - I might have to look into some interesting webbing color choices.....
 
Jim, where did you find red webbing?

Im pretty sure Scubatoys sells red webbing, they used to anyway.

Eric, haven't forgotten just trying to get some cash together. How much would freight to Japan be, Shizuoka 422-8063? Feel free to PM me. Cheers.

PS I'm vertically challenged at 5'7" would I be looking at small or standard or would either be ok?
 
Hey Jim,
Look at post #33 and see how I got the webbing set up on the top slots, you have it threaded backwards - It may not make any difference, but I always threaded it the other way so the transition from plate to webbing was smoother. I know on the other style plates the webbing comes from the back and goes over the top of the plate, but on mine it's the other way around.

*Don't look at my webbing too close, it's at least 12 years old and has probably been on 15 different plates.
I should probably replace it.
Hmmm, you got me thinking, maybe a color this time?

You could use either, but the small would probably be a slightly better fit and at 3 lbs offsets an AL 80 just right - if you ever use AL 80's that is.
