Anyone made any? My wife has Aqualung Blade fins. I have the hardware to attach to the posts (3/16" anchor shackles) but need to buy springs. I tried one of the 11 inch springs I bought for my Jet fins & it's a bit too long. I think a 10 or maybe even a 9.5 length would be about right. If anyone has made them & can confirm the length used I'd appreciate it.

Exact length required will vary with each person. I had to shorten mine just a bit. Just shorten the springs until they are right.

Everything you wanted to know about spring straps - how to size them, cut them, attach them - is posted in the DIY (Do It Yourself) forum. Just do a search under "spring Straps" in the DIY forum and you'll find a plethora of information.

Enjoy!
