APD parts - some self-assembly required

This morning a courier turned up at my door with a small parcel from the UK. Inside was my replacement mouthpiece and head strap. Joy! A big thanks has to go to Ambient Pressure Diving for getting the parts to me so quickly (ordered on Monday evening NZ time and here at my door by noon Friday).

The kit came in two parts and it looked like there could be a couple of ways to assemble the mouthpiece and head strap, so I turned to the internet to try and find a photo or maybe some instructions for its assembly. After a long while it was looking like there was no way I'd get the information I needed.

I've taken my best bet as to the correct build for fastening the head strap to the lugs on the mouthpiece. Put it this way, it appears to work as I'd expect it to and it's highly unlikely that I can go back without damaging something. Now all I have to do is locate some Ty-Rap® cable ties to secure the mouthpiece to the dive valve.

I got hold of a Ty-Rap® cable tie this morning, so here is a picture of the Inspo dive valve with the mouthpiece fitted to it. "Bring out the gimp!" ;o)
