Well, today I went and picked up the aluminum tubing, rod, and plate that I am going to use to make the new jetpack harness. I have a ton of the 2" black seatbelt webbing like that was used on the original harness setup. So at lowes they happen to have 1/2" aluminum tubing and flat stock, and some 3/16" rod, as well in the plumbing section they have a hand lever pipe bender. It's made for pipe a tad smaller than 1/2", but I think it will work to bend what I need to bend with no problem.

So we'll see how it goes. Most this week is spent towards unpacking all our Celebration costume totes and getting the shop cleaned and back in habitable conditions...
