The Apollo-approved spring straps require major physical modification to the fin (cutting off the post and drilling new holes into the side). I don't have the tools to make the modifications, nor do I want to.

What spring straps have you used successfully with the bio-fin?
 
I have seen somewhere one made with a small stainless D shackle from the yacht shop connected to a stainless spring cut with a loop bent from the stainless spring shop covered with some tubular webbing from the climbing shop.

Time to start a business.
 
I'm using XS Scuba ones I bought from my LDS. They were easy to install, and I've been very happy with them.
 
I bought XS Scuba's spring straps for my wife's Biofin.
The shackles for the large posts fit fine.
