ares razor pro side clip replacement

[bobdonny]

Hi all,

I got back from a dive recently to find the side clip missing from one of my razor pro's.

I've found a complete spare set on scuba store but the delivery is too much for the item and I don't need all the other parts. I just need a spare clip?
Mares Assemblig Kit for Razor. Fins Spare parts, Scubastore.com, buy, offers, dive

I don't need anything at the moment but I might put in an order in a few months for the summer season and get it then... but in the meantime...
Can anyone suggest a good homemade solution?
or
Perhaps its not really necessary?

Maybe a small binder clip?

Hehe, great idea. I actually tried that. THe smallest one I had was about 4mm too long. I toyed with the idea of cutting it with a hacksaw to fit... but then had visions of a non perfectly smooth metal edge cutting into the rubber.

Might try to see if I can get a smaller one. Thanks.

I just tried it on my razors. the smallest clip that I have has sides with length about 1 cm. As you can see on the pictures it fits nicely, it is only to long to fit the cutout.
