I dont have a Churburg catalog, But is the S-14 the solid one piece globose with a stop rib? ( I'm pretty sure it is, but only have Carlos's book which doesnt have that piece listed) If so , I have a copy of one. It has straps going from the shoulders to under the armpits, that cross over one another, ie long strap riveted to the upper left shoulder to a buckle below right arm pit, long strap riveted to the upper right shoulder fastening to a buckle below left arm pit. Also a "waist belt " that goes around the lower back rivited to the lower edge.

Otto,

Thanks for the info. I found a picture a couple of day s ago and strapped it kind of like you are talking about. I went from shoulders to bottom points (with crisscrossing in the back) then I did the one waist strap. It worked out pretty well for me but I think your way may be a little more secure. I may end up switching over to that.

Thanks again
Zack
