Back in the day, it was common to use those CO2 tanks for triples. However, be aware that they are very buoyant, like a cork.

Thanks Roger I just looked at them, will investigate futher. Of course right after I commited to the Nemrod Manifold :11doh: . Although the one I bought comes with bushings.

If I do have to use modern webbing, I'll have to find a nice White Stag 2" Buckle. I just saw one on the weekend on a 46 with a WHite Stag plate and harness.

BTW...just bought my first vintage tank on the weekend. My LDS had a 1968 Steel 72 with New Hydro and VIP for $50(instructor Price) K valve.:D Still have to get a Backpak.

Well if there is any item that is in good supply, backpacks would seem to be the one thing easy to find. Good price on the 72. especially with the new Hydro and VIP.

Sorry for the late update...

Have shipped the triple valve to Victor for Bands, and purchased 2 46's so far and have tracked down a third. The two i have need a hydro and a tumbling. Will do the Vis myself on all 3 after hydro and tumble. Also sent Victor a USD Back Pack for incorporation into rig. Bought a 14.5 and 18" J valve rods(will try both) from VSS. I'll post pictures of the whole rig unassembled and assembled when I get the bands and valve back from victor.

Having a blast with the vintage gear :D .
 
Funny how after someone first dives vintage they become completely addicted... it's almost like crack (so I've heard)... much to the chagrin of my LDS and wife.
 
Well its nice to see that John and Steve are having some true vintage fun. And I got to get them started.
Aloha
Roger
