You'll find that our kit will fit easily as RIck makes sure using his
computer and experiance to assure fit.
He did the Quadra Bag for us when Jim Bounds approached me to improve the
Harrison 4 bag system. Jim B can be demanding, so I'm glad Rick wa there to
take charge and design a unit that Jim B endorses .
We also have a 3 point Shoulder belt Kit now that Rick figured out a great
way to attach to the side wall.
Again I had to let him test it for strength.
