Split axle Pieters,I have question for you guys that have wrapped the split axle bungees. I'm onmy third set. My first set was only half inch and didn't work out too well. My second set was 5/8" and worked well for a couple of years. This past summerI ordered more 5/8" and replaced them but the bungee stock just didn't seemto be the same quality. They've softened some already. I like them nice andtight. Anyway I think I might take them off, shorten them some and wrap themback on. I have just been wrapping them on by hand. Lots of cussing required!Does anyone have any special tricks they've come up with to wrap them suckerson there really tight? Maybe a come-along? Some kind of fixture? Thanks,Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2009 06:10:08 -0800 (PST)
