blueprint of backplate?

Does anyone have a detailed blueprint of a backplate to share?
I'm working with a local machinist who will make a plate for me from stainless I already have.
We're actually going to try and make a plate that weight in at around 12 pounds?
How nice would that be to lose 12 pounds from my weight belt?
I dove with 31 pounds this weekend and it was miserable.

I don't have any, but I have seen at least one out on the web. It might be hard to find the link to it, but if you look hard enough you should find one.

Can you copy the design of your current plate?

Send a PM to detsgtdavis. He had someone in a school machine shop make a plate for him. I bet there must have been some usable plans.

I think I may have some specs. Can't remember now if it is full blueprints or just specs, but I will check. Will be more than happy to share, for a price!!!! LOL!!!
