Posted 23 Jan 2018 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!

Posted 23 Jan 2018 Google mil-c-5651d type 1, you'll probably need to make them to length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 24 Jan 2018 type in 06-12400 in the search box of aircraft spruce and it should come up with the mil spec 3/8" bungee I bought last summer for mine. I just tried and it still comes up but you might double check. I didn't swag mine but used the wire tying method. If you seach the site it will come up.Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 24 Jan 2018 (edited) Jim Chuk posted some info on replacing bungees some time back - I think he said to order them in 19 or 23 foot lengths, (BUT don't go by what I say), and you would have a foot or so left to pull on and cut off when finished. Maybe this was enough for 2? I don't know where the post is. EDMO Edited 24 Jan 2018 by EDMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
