Rocket Fins

[sharkybait]

Got a question for everyone........
Remember those 'older' rocket fins that sometimes had spring fin straps????
I was just wondering if anyone had any idea where I could find those spring fin straps to put on my new Turtle Fins....
Thanks.....

I think a board member (Boogie711) also has plans/ kits for the spring straps. Try him on the board-- I built a pair or two for about $20.00 a set. As long as you have an industrial supply store in your town your set.

Boogie sells straps for 60.00, and they are for the round type fins (Mares, Aqualung, Akona etc), and should be home in a week or two.

Last time I priced the springs alone they were around $30 Canadian. Still I wouldn't mind making a set for the fun of it more than anything. If you have found them cheaper that'd be cool!

I guess I need to factor in how long it takes. It doesn't take too long for $30 in springs and perhaps $10 in various parts to creep up to the 60-99 dollar once you factor in your time.

Regardless, Cliff. Wondering if you could post a parts list and where you got them so those of us that might want to play with this concept can try.

Thanks.

Just reverse your straps through the buckles and duct tape the ends back.
