Jet fin buckle

[dcostanza]

Good evening.

I would like to know if anyone knows of a source for replacement buckles for Jet Fins? Not interested in the straps, only the metal buckles. I have searched high and low locally and even tried many of the "buckle" industries (camping, crafts,etc) to no avail.
In the interm I have had to practice my origami skills on 2 pairs of zinc coated d-rings.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards
Don

Roger Lacasse, who has a website on which he displays some D-I-Y dive gear projects, e-mailed me and advised that he bought some new Global jet fin buckle hardware, reversed it so it attached like the original F/O which then put all the stress on the hardware and the rubber block just became a cover, if you will. This spring strap hardware is available from any Global Distributor (most dive shops) and is their part number # 53050. It sells for about $2.00 each.


Compliments of Mr. Dalton, heres the link to his site about DIY straps.
