I definitely know what you mean Greenwood, and going back and looking at it, it looks like the bent-d-rings may not work with the wing I am planning on using.
Matt, do you know for certain whether or not the BAT-wing from Bogaerts will get in the way of the D-ring access? It looks like the wing goes down and over the lower plate. Would prefer the bent d-rings, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
I Would go with the Flat backplate just too keep things comfortable. Just a side note, my plates do work with the large UTD wing. Here are some pictures of it rigged up.

Hey, that looks a lot like my rig. I just put the Z-plus wing on y harness I built with your plates.
Matt, what did you do with the side elastic straps and attached sliders? I cant seem to make thse stay "attached" as they just pull through and they seem too high to attach to the belt. Did you attach them to the belt somehow, or to the harness chest straps at the back (this is what I did, but I'm having an issue dumping air).
Descriptions/pictures would be appreciated.

And I'm using bent D rings on the shoulders and the rear belt. They work great. I adjusted them out just past the Z+wing so it didnt interfere with clipping off tanks.
Steve,
Honestly not exactly sure on all the details of the wing with the harness setup. The pictures are from one of my customers who actually is a repeat buyer. He now owns 2 sets of plates for 2 separate setups for diving Alu's and Steels. Perhaps I could have him chime in here and describe in detail what his methods are. Have a great day!
-Matt.

Matt, thats perfect. Just the picture I needed.Originally Posted by Bonediver
Hey guys, I have a question on the threading of the upper plate. I have read and looked at the PDF that Matt posted but I still have a question.
How many of you are putting book screws in the top plate to hold the shoulder straps in place? I'm looking at mine and realized that the hole is too high and that burning a hole in the webbing will be super close to the edge and will probably rip if any stress is put on it.
Is there something I'm missing? Or have you guys just not put anything in?
Same here. Hole does seem to be too high. I am using some incredibly stiff webbing as well, and it doesn't like that bend. I chose to clamp that bend in to the webbing by leaving vise-grips on it over several nights. A real vise would have worked better. You could always drill another hole. Don't know if I will bother.

Same here. Using stiff webbing and hammered it with a rubber mallet to make the bend lay down. No screws.
