Vintage Backplates
Vintage Doublehose SCUBA Backplate
Our flat Vintage Plate will allow you to use a modern single tank air cell with open tank band slots AND any single piece 2" webbing*. Equipped with waist slots** for BOTH tall and short divers allowing for comfort and critical placement of the regulator can between the diver's shoulder blades. The bottom corners are slightly bent to stop digging at your side.
This plate can also be used for modern single hose diving.
Offered in 1/8" thick 5150 aluminum and weighing 1 lb 4 oz.
Vintage Backplate(s) have been optimized by design for single tank use. Twins/doubles can be used however please consult with us prior to purchasing to make sure it will be suitable to you requirements.
*we recommend a harness that is mild in stiffness to allow for ease of threading through the shoulder slots due to proximity of the regulator can to the top of the plate. Shoulder slots are designed such that the harness must be crossed for stability (left side shoulder slot for your right shoulder and right side shoulder slot for your left shoulder harness).
**we also recommend belt slides for the harness on the backside of the waist slots on the plate to secure the harness from movement and wear to the webbing. We do not offer harnesses and harness accessories at this time.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE MADE TO ORDER. PROCESSING TIMES AVERAGE 7-10 DAYS.
