There are a bunch of threads on here about springs straps. Since I see that this is your first post I will suggest that you do a search. Or just skim through the DIY forum.

I made mine this year with these springs and this tubing over them. Both from McMaster/Carr... Search for the instructions (I used the ideas from Wayward son's excellent info)...I used SS shackles because I have Aqualung Blades that work fine (round QR posts). They seem to be working great. I've used them all this year and no rust, no wear, no problems so far...

That McMaster spring is a good buy for small quantities. I just checked a few of the manufacturers I use and you'd need to order 50 of them on your own to get into that price range.

Lee Spring does offer what seems to be that spring. Springs, even when purchased from stock have a very steep discount as quantity rises.
