Web sites for BP/harness assembly

[large_diver]

I thought Fifth D used to have some BP/harness schematics on their site, buit I can't find them.....

Can someone give me some alternatives?

Thanks.

You can use these for reference along with the WKPP website:

http://www.gasdiving.co.uk/pages/misc/kit/harness_2.htm -- this one isn't quite right as it shows two D-rings on one of the shoulder straps.

regarding the pics on the gasdiving website...

I see they use keepers in the 2 spots where the webbing passes through the lower corners of the plate.....is this necessary?

I didn't think so either when I got mine. But as it has been explained to me, the shoulder straps are supposed to remain somewhat loose, while the crotch strap tightens down on the waist belt. It may not be necessary, but it makes sense.

Yeah, those weight keepers keep everything kinda locked in place. Once you get the harness tweaked perfectly, you won't want it to move.
