Interested in sidemount

[Webmaster]

Webbing + hardware + wing + speedy stitcher = sidemount harness

True. I can sew pretty decent.

I am looking at the UTD or Razor real close right now.

Yes we have used them several times. Just move the wing inside the harness add some waist d rings and bungees. You can add shoulder weights easy to trim out. I also added a crotch strap.

Has anyone tried using any Zeagle pieces to build a kit? I have a chance on getting a Zeagle Express Tech backplate, and shoulder harness for very cheap, like dang near free. I also have quite a bit of 2 inch webbing that I can use to help build what I need, along with drings etc.

Great. That sounds like a good plan to get started with. Then down the road I can get the UTD wing and start working on a batter harness setup. Sweet.

Thanks to everyone for their help. I know why I missed this forum.

This is one I built out of a Zeagle Express Tech. It was a great travel SM rig for Mexico last year.

Thanks! That is close to what I was envisioning. I am sitting here drawing on one of my spare aluminum back plates wondering if I can cut it to make a harness. I have some ideas.

Wow, this is fun!!! I like this already. lol

Did you use zip ties on your bungees where they are doubled over?

[DA Aquamaster]

I'm not sure what Shirley did, but I've used zip ties in that manner. I also cover them with either tubular webbing or heat shrink tubing.

[darkdiver211]

I like the heat shrink idea, thanks.

we use a delrin fitting called a snake head over here in the uk to affix bungee to boltsnap... http://www.darkside-diving.co.uk/sho...m=aid%3D151%26
