I am just wondering if anyone can tell me if an Oxycheq Mach V w/STA or a DSS Tourus/LCD will attach to a Apeks WTX SS backplate and Harness. If it does not, is there anything I can do to modify it to fit, and what kind of problems could I look forward to? The reason I ask, is that the WTX plate is part of a Regulator/Octo/Computer/BP package deal that I can get at my LDS, and the price is right to allow me to buy a Mach V and still get a great deal. (and I have read bad reviews on the WTX3 wing) Thanks it advance for your help.

If the WTX backplate has screw holes 11" apart at the back (and they all do) then you can use the Oxycheq STA and hence the wing with it. If the holes are not there or aren't in the place you want then you can take it to your local metal shop and have them drill a few extra holes in it (or even do it yourself if you've got the tools) - but all backplates have those holes because you need them to dive doubles (holes 11" apart is the industry standard) and that was the original idea behind backplates. And judging by pics I've seen the Apeks plates have plenty of holes in them.
