Argon Cylinder Mounting
How are divers mounting their argon cylinders? Size and location. Mounting cylinder to side of plate, waist belt, back cylinder(s) or a add on drysuit pocket.

6cuft on the plate with 2" webbing and bungee mount.

Re: Argon Cylinder Mounting
Of course, but it's more or less the standard UTD mount. I just cut the 2" webbing and added some bungee to keep it tight to the plate.scottsax wrote:I'm assuming there's some awesome nwbrewer diy mount, right?

Re: Argon Cylinder Mounting
an even quicker DYI mount is thicker bungee loop with a knot, slip the loop through the BP sex-bolt hole in the middle-left, so the knot keeps the bungee in place and loop it over the 6cft argon, then a thinner bungee at the bottom of the BP that hooks over the valve/reg.. its a pretty elegant solution and the bottle aint goin nowhere.. I did this for a few people "on site" and its pretty portable too..
2 pieces of bungee.. doesnt get simplier, cheaper and easier.
the more "official" config is a piece of webbing (I used a thick bungee here instead of the webbing) and a thin bungee at the bottom.. kinda looks like this:
