They can't really do much wrong making a spring strap. The only issue will be post size and spring length. If both look to fit I don't think you could really go wrong. Of course the metal parts could be crap stainless steel and could rust to dust.

Rust would be my concern. It is pretty common for Chinese companies to skimp and use 304 stainless instead of 316.

Agree, that would be my only real concern too assuming fitting was ok.

Without knowing anything about these particular straps, I'll note that neither of the problems with some other spring straps exist with them. The line trap I talked about in another thread doesn't exist, and the second bolt prevents the things from falling off the posts on the fins.
