    Do any of you know if the breathable air system has to be SFI approved or not?
    Simpson’s Supplier of the air system supposedly had a flood or something. As some of you already know they won't be ready for another month.
    I'm a Licensed Diver and have a pretty good knowledge of how I can build my own an air system with a Reg. for the car, but do you think the tech guys will let it fly because it doesn’t have a Simpson sticker on it?
