Thanks Steve E. and Jim S. for the replys--I bought shock cord footage (as opposed to bungee cord) to make my shock cords for my air camper. Got the material from Air Craft Spruce, but they don't sell fasteners for the 5/8" cord. I need to know what type of fasterner system you use and a source for them. Upholstery Rings, Hog Rings, wind with wire, what to do? Thanks, Bud Cooley________________________________________________________________________________

I guess I didn't understand the question the first time around. I used therings and they were bought at Aircraft Spruce. I didn't have to do anywrapping. I thought that these rings were so stiff that one would do thetrick. Wrong. The gear wanted to do the splits with any load in it. Surewas a job getting those rings streched. Good luck on your project. jas>Thanks Steve E. and Jim S. for the replys--I bought shock cord footage (as >opposed to bungee cord) to make my shock cords for my air camper.

Shock Cord and Bungee Cord are the same. In your Aircraft Inspection andRepair manual AC 43.13-1B the two are referred to as the same. The cord iseven color coded to show the year it was manufactured. Good Luck.-----Original Message-----
