Bungee's

[birddog486 21]

I need to get a new set of bungees for the Avid to replace the 23 year old set I have but I need some Ideas.

 

Spruce sells cord but how difficult is it to wire loops on and what length?

 

I found a post on the yahoo site that talked about 106" bungees and, the set I have are 90-93" long.

 

Kitfox and Highwing sell cords that are only 60" and have small crimped ends.

I got some from Kitfox. They are nice but the crimps on the ends are really big and a PITA to deal with on the install. Next time I'm going with the ones from Highwing.

I've made my own with the spruce cord several times.  92" I believe loop to loop.  Cost about $25 for a set.  I've just wrapped safty wire on the loop ends.  2 wraps, twist the wire a few time, then a few more wraps of the wire pulling it tight.  Twist the ends a few more times, bend them ends over and then wrap it in electricians tape to keep the wire ends from cutting things.  Jim

I got a set of the Easy Thread Bungees from Highwing.  They did go on much easier because of the smaller splices on the eyes.
