What springs for TwinJets

[Big Blue One]

I want to get a set of springheel straps for the scubapro twinjets.

Also need them in Singapore - any ideas on where to get them ?

I don't have Twin Jets, but if memory serves me right they have a simple post as most fins do. In that case there are a couple of manufacturers that make springs that attach as your fin strap would, like Manta Industries.

As far as availability in Singapore, you would have to contact them.
If you can't anyone selling these use the search function here on the board and read through some of the spring strap threads. Plenty of people have made their own rather than shelling out 70 or more bucks. I even remember someone having a how-to page on his website.

I really appreciate the response but the reason I posted this is that

1. Manta don't list Singapore as a possible delivery destination
2. I still didn't get an answer to what size from the post originated by jjgibo
3. I'm handy ... but I'm lazy and I have the money to buy the straps at $50 !!

any ideas ??

BBO - what sort of strap assembly is on Twin Jets? Are they like regular Jet Fins or are they more like the 'traditional' post hub assembly (similar to Quattro's or Aqualung Blades?)

If it's option 'b', I can help you out, but I can't do spring straps for Jet Fins - as much as I'd like to.

the TJs are the same pin connector as the Jets rather than the post - hence the appeal of the manta pin assembly numbers.

Let me know if you solve that problem

Well, you should have said so.

Don't know what you're refering to here.

Halcyon makes spring straps for Jet fins. So if that's what you want try:
Silent Explorer
115B Jalan Besar
208835 Singapore
Singapore
65.629968
info@silentexplorer.com

If for some reason that doesn't work out for you, Apollo now makes spring straps, too. They attach to the flat side surface with two screws and a backing plate. Still involves some work grinding down/cutting off the current attachment and drilling the holes.

Medium blue TJs and size 9 booties.

Used the Halcyon XL springs.

The distributor says they are only meant for the JetFins but the seating is basically the same - just need to make sure you get the right size. If your foot is any smaller you will need to go down to the L size springs.

Attachment is a pretty simple process.

Although had to burr the edges of the pins - this could be better with a better pin shackle assembly on the clips similar to boogies set up.

actually the springs are quite easily sourced in singapore.

Have made a few pairs of straps myself for different types of fins.

If you still wanna talk about em, drop me a pm.
