Would anyone be interested in a DIY spring strap kit?

[Scubaroo]

Thanks DaveO, I was sort of kicking that idea around.

At the end of today, I'll PM everyone with payment details - you can all start sending the money in while we're waiting for the springs to turn up - should shorten the whole cycle by a week or so - this way as soon as the springs turn up I can mail them out immediately to those people that have already paid.

I am Very interested. But do they fit USD Blades or Scuba Pro Gorilla fins. If so I would like 2 sets.

Both pairs of fins have the rotating quick release buckles.

Thanks

me know what I need to do Ben. Where I need to send $ & so forth if this will work on the fins I mentioned. Is there any assembly I will need to do & so on.

Thanks again!

This is great!

Ben, may the scuba gods smile upon you!

Hi Ben -

Here's my official request for 2 sets (I sent you a private message about this a couple of days ago). Thanks for doing this! I'm happy to pay up front, just let me know your preferred method.

best,
steve

Your fins need to have the lugs like these, for the S hook to be crimped around:

I'd like to get two sets.

But if possible I'd like to also get four bare springs (4 springs only). I have two old, but brand new Oceanic spring sets but the existing springs are too short and I'd like to replace them with longer springs, hence the special request.

Gimme an address and total and payment will be in the mail.

Hey Ben,
I checked my Blades & that strap WILL work. The Gorilla fins will NOT work, so I would like 1 complete set up. Please let me know what you need & I will get it taken care of.

Thanks in advance,

 

[JustJules]

Please add me for 2 sets. Thanks!

Just saw this thread for the first time. I am in.

By the way Ben, The fins in the photo look very much like my Cressi Space Frogs. Am I right? Will this solution fit the Cressi's?

And by the way, I will supply a US mailing address.
