Replacement straps compatible with Mares Power Plana Graphite fins?

[shinyhalo]

I have some old fins that I like, but the straps are cracking.
I would like something like the Mares Bungee Strap but those seem to attach to round posts on the fin. My posts are rectangular (1" x .5")
I'm trying to attach an image to this post.
The knife in the image is showing the height of the rectangular stud.
Please suggest a strap system compatible with these rectangular fin studs/posts.
Thanks

Those are pretty old fins but I think this will work:

You need a Pin-Style strap. Manta makes one in a Spring Strap - Scubatoys.com sells them.
Pin Style Spring Strap « Manta Industries & Highseas Millwork
It replaces the metal buckle shown in your picture with this:

And while I was googling, a couple more:

You may have to figure out the sizing but they'll probably never break...some of the metal pins might be a little short in length for your fins also so maybe find them locally in a shop.
