I have tried many different searches on how to web a backplate but have had no luck on finding anything. Can anyone post me a link on how to web stuff??? I have a halcyon eclipse system and it came webbed but all messed up to make sure that all of the stupid logos show up on th outside. It is pissing me off that the straps are different from eachother and it wears uncomfortably.

Thanks guys for your help! I used your links and got'er done. Stupid halcyon logo's are no longer showing on the waste belt but who gives a rip! Overpriced anyway. As I look back I wish I would have saved the money and gotten somthing else cheaper from oms or another brand. But again THANKS!!!!
 
If I remember correctly, it's about 12 feet. This WILL result in trimming a fair bit off, if you are average size or smaller. But webbing is cheap.
 
Here's a set of step by step instructions. https://www.deepseasupply.com/index.php?page=instructions

We furnish 12 ft of webbing for the main harness. The Crotch strap is separate. Most people of normal stature need about 9-10 ft of main webbing (not including the crotch strap)

IIRC, H's go on the inside of the waist belt and on the outside of the shoulders if woven correctly. You can then use the H's on the shoulder straps to get the same length webbing on both shoulder straps and to put the D rings at the same height.
