  1. I am getting ready to replace the bungees on my landing gear and I have read that I should use 3/8 Shock Cord (Aircraft Spruce 06-12400) at 90 inches between the loops.  As I was getting ready to buy the bungees, I noticed that they had these nice little fasteners (06-12900) which should work nicely.  Has anyone ever used them?  I presume here that it should be 90 inches bottom of fastener to bottom of fastener.
  2. It's time to replace the bungee (shock) cord on my Fat Avid. It's what the original builder installed and it's getting soft. I have two problems....maybe no problems if someone here has the answer :-)
    I called Aircraft Spruce and they no longer carry mil spec shock cord (the good stuff) off a spool. They only sell prefabricated mil spec rings and garden variety bungee cord.
    I don't have shock cord size nicopress fittings (or tool) to make the Bungees up myself.
    When I had my MKIV I ordered them from Steve Winder and received nicely made up mil spec bungees ready to install.
    Where can I find them made up or find the raw mil spec bungee stock?
    Thanks!
