    Default WTB set of bands for steel 72's

    Got some sweet fresh hydro 72's to double up. Does anyone have a set of bands for the 6.9" tanks?

    I've got a single band, that was used on my 72s, before I split them up for sidemount. It had been used to band the tanks together at the center, but could easily be used as one of a set if you want to use two bands. If you're interested in the band I have, let me know and I'll get a photo up.

    Also have a mint conditions USDivers manifold with a jvalve on one side, on/off on the the other, it has a single yoke orifice in the center of the crossover.

    I bought a set off of this guy 2-3 years ago for 8" tanks and they were very, very nice. I moved the bands around on the other 2 sets of doubles that I had when I sold them so that I could keep this set on a pair of 108s. The finish is excellent and the center tabs are narrow, keeping the tanks as minimally wide as possible. They were much nicer than the Diverite and Larry Green bands that I had.

    I even had an issue with bolt size. I wanted the smaller diameter bolts (5/16?), but the set came with the larger bolts (3/8?). I contact him via email and he expressed a second set of smaller bolts at no charge. So good customer focus.

    You won't go wrong buying them from him.

    If you still haven't bought a set I have some OMS ones I'm looking to get rid of.

    I've got a set, and they're probably not what you're looking for, but who knows? They're attached to the original black plastic kidney buster, and come with a Dale Stone Aqua Shack o-ring tape keeper. The bands are free, but the keeper's gonna cost ya...

    These bands are for steel 72's. I don't know if they'll work with aluminum 72's. And my attic in Jacksonville is about 127 degrees...

    Let me know if you're interested,

    Doug
