Hey Matt, Thanks for the quick shipping. I am very happy with the quality of the plates.

I made my first dive with a harness made from these plates. I have to say, it was beyond my expectations. I was completely at peace for the entire dive. The quality of these plates is top notch. Cuts are as smooth as you can get. Finish is even. I couldn't have asked for more. The only problems I had were all due to the ridiculous amount of adjustability with a setup like this. It took me a bit to figure out how to weave everything, but trial and error works. I would recommend to weave it without d-rings the first time, get it figured out, then go back and add them.

I think the only thing I could ask for on these would be slots for a 1" crotch strap... but that would mean a 1" back strap too, don't know if that would be any issue.

Great! Glad you like the quality of the plates. I try! The 1" strap is def. a mod I can do. I will make 25% of my next batch with 1" slots. see how they work!

Dive safe!

For those of you that are curious. I do still sell SM plates.

I laser cut all the parts out of 316 SS. The cuts are smooth and clean as can be. I hand file each slot to ensure that you will be getting a good life from the webbing being ran through them. I also guarantee the parts. If you somehow manage to break a plate, I will replace it.

Current price that I sell them for is $65.00 a set + $5.00 Shipping in the USA. International shipping is around $14.00. PayPal is matt@deepstopdiving.com

I am a 1 man setup and I do this as a hobby, so bear with me on the time frame. I usually am able to get the plates out to USPS within 2 days of the payment clearing.

Here is a PDF file I put together showing the proper weaving of the upper plate. Also a picture of the current quality of the plates.

Dive deep!

Bonediver, are the plates threaded already for the book screws?

[Bonediver]

No, the holes are 3/8" through holes. Book screws are designed to have a through hole that they are inserted in to. When screwed together the threads are mated internally.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

-Matt.

Hey Matt,

Looks like the new run of sidemount plates don't have the bent D-rings built into them. Were they removed due to feedback from users?

[edit] Just re-read the thread and saw you got rid of the bent d-rings to go with the UTD wing!

Do you still have that last set with the bent rings? If so I'll take them.

[Bonediver]

Lenaxia,

I can do more "D-ring" Plates. However it will be about 1 month before I can get more stainless and setup the laser to cut them. Never had any complaints on the D-ring kit! I myself prefer the D-rings. Have a great day!

I think it's more flexible without them. If you want them, it's easy to add them as normal, bent, fixed normal, or fixed bent D rings & slide.
