Spring Straps for Fins:)

[christopher1260]

ok... here's the deal---
I just ordered springs for spring straps from W. B. Jones springs in Kentucky. They come in 11" lengths and are roughly $4 each. I don't know if one will do the job for 2 fins yet. I will keep you posted on that. Here is where the problem lies, I had to buy 7 of them in order for them to process the order. I was wondering if anyone else was interested in stainless steel springs for their fins. I will ship them to you for the $4 cost plus shipping. Just remember that these are just the springs. I don't have them yet, but I will post again to let you know when they get here. Hope that this helps some of you out.

OK - for future reference, or for anyone else who's reading this, McMaster Carr will sell you 11" stainless steel springs individually.

And I only paid 13.50 for 6 springs to include shipping. I bought so many because I wasn't paying attention and thought I was getting a good deal for 2 springs, but they came in packages of 3.

Um - that was either a while ago, or you've got some weird springs on your straps there dude... I believe the "industry standard" is 3932K54 - which is 4.42 per spring, individually. What are you diving with?

The 3932K54 is a type 302 SS Extension Spring, 11" Length, 1/2" OD, .062" Wire Diameter.

Whoa, you scared me there for a minute, I just double checked and that is the part number that I ordered "3932K54", it actually says $4.52 per pack on the web site. So.............. :54:

Just looked at the catalog page and it says 1 per pack. Maybe someone else wasn't paying attention. Better to be lucky than good!!

 

[Boogie711]

per pack of one. Not 3.

Heck, it was only 3 weeks ago

When I bought mine about 4 months ago you could only get them in packs of three. I have several left for back up.

I might be interested in the springs if you do in fact determine they work... I am modifying some mares plana fins.
