Update:
I've used the Cinch on a few more dives and I was able find solutions to the reels and lift bag by using a new SS bold in place of the OEM bolt on the right side. I still need to get something like a welded D on the left as the floppy D-ring is hard to find while holding the tail of a large stage. I've been told a luggage repair place should be able to make the part I need.
So my last update on the Cinch is that it's worth the money as the adjustment has saved me a lot of struggle in the few dives I've had. I still tend to pull the shoulders too tight but that's getting better and the whole rig flys real nice.
Like any BP&W you can adapt anything you want to it with a trip to the hardware store. I was originally disappointed that it wasn't pay&play but I'm over that now and I really like it.
