I need to replace the saggy old bungees on my Mod IV 1050. I have looked through the archives and determined this is a job for two. If anyone has any ideas that make it quick and easy now would be the time to share.   

The bungees I am installing are beige with two red and one yellow stripe. Been in the package a couple of years. Anyone care to tell me what this code means cause the ones I am removing are way different for stripes.  

Thanks

Dave, I replaced mine with Lowell Fitt's bush gear. Try that. It's alot more work and alot more $ but alot more friendly when I'm doing ground loops.

Dave, I would say your bungees were manufactured in the 4th quarter of a year ending in 2 or 7.  If you know they are only a couple years old then I say 2007.



Here's everything you ever wanted to know about bungees.  AC 43.13-1B Chapter 9.  Bungees are on page 9-2.

Pat,

     I like Lowell's gear a lot, but I find I get much better rotation 

on my ground loops with the narrow gear.

Those shock cord codes are spelled out in AC 43-13....I don't have my  

copy handy, or I'd let you in on the "secret."

Well, that would be one way to go I suppose. You  mention the price, keep in mind there are a lot more little money sucking trolls  between Lowell and Nova Scotia than on the way to Illinois. They have to be fed  or your merchandise never arrives. I think if I ever choose to replace the stock  gear it will be for the Grove system. In the meantime, I have  to replace the cords on the system I have, and I'm having trouble.
