I could use a little help. Years ago someone posted  the length of shock cords for a model II. I can not find it anywhere on the list  or my saved files. Might have been from Lowell ? I do not want to be down any  longer than need be so would like to have them ready instead of having to  measure and make then.

  

  Thanks

I think it was 66"   

  

 Just pull one off and measure

  

 I just put wheels on my Kitfox afew weeks ago after  being on floats for last 3 yrs

  

 I can measure some in shop

  

 Make sure you use good  MIL spec  Cord  

  

 How you gonna fasten the loops ?

  

 I either make a video or was going ot make one on  how ot make them -- Very Simple

  

 HAve you seen my  bungess install  video?   

 make many shake their heads on why it looks so  easy  after many have tried and tried with 

 clamps-tools- visegrips  etc

Dwight,

 The early model Kitfoxes use 60" bungees.   We  make them with a very small crimp that we designed if you might want them ready  made.

 http://highwingllc.com/bungees.html

 Or you can make them up your self if you  prefer.

 Lowell

Dave I am trying to avoid down time. I bought the  same material as before and figured if I had to I could count the number of  markings as I am not sure if they will be stretched. 

  

 Thanks

Do you think the hammer handle method will work with the seat in?

Not sure why you would not take out the seat.

I use hose clmaps to hold in mine -- I think I got 10 or 12 clamps -- abcout 

1 or 2 minutes to remove them.



Great time to inspect under the seat. !



Dave



Ps if you leave the seat in  -- take a video  -- that would be interesting.
