Subject: Pietenpol-List: Piper shock strutsChuck asked. "Did Piper copy BHP's shock struts?'' Hi Chuck, if theydid they made a great improvement by turning the lower bungee cord tubeperpendicular to the top one then using bungee cord rings. It neverdawned on me to build my lower shock struts that way until after I hadthem built. ( the second time ). It would be so simple to have done itJ-3 style. With a home made tool you could install shock rings in about5 minuets.
