Substituting strap for Deep 6 Eddys

[Slotus2005]

I got the same type of non-helpful reply from Deep 6. This was after I had looked into ordering some custom length springs from McMaster-Carr, and those were about $250 each. It is possible to buy the tools to make your own double-loop Stainless Steel springs, but the cost for tools alone is about $90. The spring raw material comes in 20 inch lengths and is about $20 each. Damn they have nice foot pockets though, they float without the straps but have these foot-crushers with them. I know I want a 13 1/2" or 14" (end to end length) spring, the Eddies come with an 11 1/2" for the Extra-large size. Hollis unfortunately sells the ankle pad too, and does not give a useful length in the product description. Tecline sells the springs by themselves evidently, but ordering from Europe would be shooting in the dark.

umm, you can get springs of varying lengths from Piranha.
