    THE BEST FIND EVER?????

    Just thought I'd share this doozy with you guys. I was at work thumbing through a shop catalog (Lab Saftey) to buy some tools and I came across this beauty. Shop-Vac came out with a "backpack vaccum cleaner" a while ago. when I noticed that the harness might be a good candidate for my MOW JP, I emailed them and asked that I was interested in purchasing just the harness but noticed it wasn't listed in thier catalog accessories section, they told me " thank you for your inquiry and we would like to send you the harness at no charge" SHOP-VAC ROCKS MAN!! . it arrived Fed ex free shipping today. http://www.labsafety.com/search/shop...sredirect=true




    AND HERE SHE IS..........................WHAT DO YOU THINK???????????

    I put it on right out of the box so the backplate does sit a lot lower after a few adjustments.

    this thing is super lightweight and soooooo comfortable, you can't even tell your wearing it. look how it naturally forms to your back.

    Awesome find Ben! I wonder what Shop-vac will think when they get a whole boatload of inquiries wanting to just buy their harness minus the vac.

    yeah, I thought about that too. what do I care if you guys try it, I got mine already. I will find the packing slip at work tomorrow and list the part number if you guys are interested.I'm not sure if you can go to Shop-Vac.com and find it because they don't sell the Harness by itself.

    That is still an awesome find though. Looks like it would be perfect for a jet pack. Keep us informed! *grin*

    Re: THE BEST FIND EVER?????

    That is a great find but I have a question but I know you have already thought this.
    Isn't the harness straps and belt going to be bulky under your armor?Unless I am sure you plan on doing some customizing to make it work under you armor.But hey for a freebie what a find.
    Congrats and I can not wait to see how you use this piece.

    Do we need a serial number or anything for the specific shop vac harness?

    well, I ordered a Bobamaker harness from Daz last week and will use his for the mean time. I think your right in modifing the straps as they will no doubt stick out like a sore thumb but not bad for free huh?????????

    That actually looks like a pretty good find for a harness. The height of it may be a little bit much, though. Please post some pictures showing how you rigged the :jet pack to it if you end up using this as your harness.

    NOt bad, not bad!!! Let us know how comfortable it is after wearing your pack on it for a while. I used to be all about accuracy, but the harness is one thing I've learned to overlook for the sake of comfort. Nice find.

    I took it right out of the box and slapped it on Scott so as for the height, the plate can be moved down another 6-8 inches. I will post some pics soon with my JP attached to it.

    It looks to me like you could cut off the first set of slots off the top of the back and reroute the straps into the second set of slots, which would remove a couple of inches from the overall height.

    I tried Bounty's little trick but no go..they called me and referred me to Shop Vac's website to order one. So if anyone wants one, you can get them there.
