3L Dive Cylinder in a black case, I will need to sort out a way of connecting it to the valves so it can be used to bring the keel up to its required 16psi pressure and also there is a space on the deck where it straps in
I'm not planning at this stage to connect it via the co2 fittings on the tubes.

The deck strap looked like a brown colour completely stained by what looks like clay?
Replaced the strap with some 12mm rope I had and spliced it in at each end and then spliced a single strand hooped over the top of the middle D rings....

You've been busy foraging for a while then! I'm after a fast inflation set if you come across a cheap one. I've also just taken off my bow cargo net, if I decide to leave it off then it'll be for sale

Very nice! I'd love to have a set of 4 of these, but the price for new ones is astronomical!

Anchor's done, the rope's a bit overkill but it's what I already had

Yeah, until now the only thing that I hadn't found was the sib
As for the rapid inflation system, Henshaws do them, but I will keep my eye out for you
Please do let me know if you want to sell the bow cargo net as it's on my to do list

As an FYI dive cylinders should be serviced every couple of years. They check the inside for corrosion. Due to the massive pressure in them I would recommend it

Whisper, there will be around 3000psi in that cylinder - be careful!
I'm using SCUBA cylinders to fill my SIB, so feel free to PM me if I can help.
