Once, again, the spring is all you need - that is all there was on the Farallon fin - the rubber parts are Oceanic's doing. And, you can not blame Oceanic for not making that or the backup lights that Barry Miler now makes - the problem , as can be seen from this list and even more so from the "cavers" list, is that the nickelrocket strokes in "tec" diving will spend thousands on a worthless dive computer, bondage wings, and a tranformer pack, and NOTHING on good gear, so nobody tries to make good gear but those who have the exact market. The fact is that I was able to buy the entire inventory of X-large spring straps form Oceanic several yars ago and gave them all to my friends, outfitted my three pairs of Jets, and saved a few as spares. Go buy the springs at the hardware store, that is all you need. Rob Sluys wrote: > > So, let me get this straight...
