Re:DIR Spring Straps
I picked up some spring straps for my Turtles off of Ebay. There's a guy that sells them on Ebay regularly all assembled complete with the caveline inside the springs for like $30. They are exactly the same as the ones in the picture below except instead of a delrin barrel connector it's an aluminum barrel connector. Smile

We saw those, but it would have been too easy! ;D

Well it wasn't as easy as I had hoped. Instead of having a nice D-connector for connecting the barrel/spring to the fin it just came with a prebent piece of SS-wire. It was a real pain to bend the wire to get it through the hole on the fin without tearing the fin. I managed though. Smile

Re:DIR Spring Straps
Here is another example of a homemade spring strap. Uses a heavy duty spring and stainless steel wire to attach to the fin.

Works very well.

They are not yours, but I suspect that there will be another Jason with a pair of these shortly.
