Deke,   Excelent info there on the gear conmparisons.



I saw you mentioned about bungees replacement. Mine have over 350 hours on 

them now and I am going to make some new ones soon.   The Crimps on mine are 

very thick alum.

What have you used for a nico style fitting?   I am thinking of using a 

piece of 4130 and making a jig to  crimp it with. .   Those large alum ones 

are thick and clumsy to feed back through the opening on bottom when busting 

my knuckles after the floats come off and gear goes back on.   Mine are 

showing some wear now .  I have already in stock the 3/8s cord   which is 

MIL SPEC  stuff.

Dave

I just used aircraft spruce 3/8" bungie and made the loops by

wrapping about a dozen wraps of .032 safety wire around them.  Works

fine and doesn't take up much room.

A few post back someone suggested using safety wire to tie the bungee cords.  Here is a web link for a cool tool for making a very clean clamp out of safety wire www.clamptitetools.com  Have a look
