[PSUBS-MAILIST] onboard gear

[MerlinSub@t-online.de via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian we replace the hole back scirt with a 3-4 mm thick neopren one.
With a fabric layer on both sides of the neopren. Was done by a local diver 
suit maker.
With a big stamp on the bill "For museums purpose only"
Replacement comes without the neck hole, we did this later by ourself to 
find the right sizes of the hole.
 
At the time I bring it to the shop the owner tell me "I will not fix it - 
you can die in this old units".
I response to him we will definitley die without it - changes his mind.
 
I spent around 50 USD per unit for material and labour cost.
 
We replace also the LP adapter of the unit from the miltary one to a scuba 
diver LP connector.
 
The window is also something which age. But we let it in.
 
I have not check our units since some years - good reminder here - will do 
so the next days.
And may take some pictures.
 
As attachment 16 years ol picture with a BCD as own first experiments - 
before I catch the Hoods.

I have two Steinke hoods I picked up on eBay awhile ago.  Both have the 
hard neck seals.  I likely missed some of the conversation so where have 
you guys gone to get them rebuilt/replaced?  Did you go with a regular 
rubber drysuit neck seal?  Would a neoprene one be better?
