The manta's are great, my LDS sold me mine for a bargin because he had them for a long time and nobody wanted them. I don't get it, spring straps should be manditory equipment on fins they're that nice.

<DIV>Graingers must be a midwest thing?</DIV>

I thought they were all over, but there is a graingers near to me. They carry all kinds of stuff you can use and at good prices. I'm not sure if they have an internet catalog or not, I just call them up since we have an account at the store I work at.

<DIV>There are plans on how to make them, it doesn't cost much and isn't that hard to do. I think if it was me and I had the posts I'd use something like a safety wire twist to lock it on the post instead of the clip which you've read can fall off if it's not under pressure.</DIV>

I think I am going to attempt to make my own with the springs from the web site listed and using SS shackles instead of ordering a whole roll of the SS wire. I will post up some pics when I am done.

<DIV>For such a short amount, I bet anyplace/shop the works with the stuff will give you some scraps, from which you can cut the little bit you'll need.</DIV>

I was going to buy the manta springs, but then I got a look at the XS scuba spring straps. Their model includes ALL the mounts, not just one. So if you switch fins, you can trandfer the straps too. They also have a locking pin that goes in behind the post so the buckle cant slide off. ST sells them. I was going to buy them while in the shop, but I had forgotten to measure my fin. But now I have it, and I will probably order them today or tomorrow. I need to make sure therte are any other items I need to include in the order.

I'm debating between the Apollos Bio XT and the Tusa Zoom. The zooms are just so pretty! But I'll take function over pretty any day... What to do... what to do...
