SOURCING THE 25MM PLASTIC BALL ON ENDS OF BUNGEE CORD

Postby extra300s » Thu Apr 29, 2010 1:08 pm

Hi Guys

Any of you ever made your own bungee cord device to hold wing to the profile tube. Outdoorwarehouse stocks bungee cord I know, but who will sell those balls that are on the end of it?

Solowings stock the complete set. Craig Couzens is not there today but will give me a call tomorrow with the price. He says that they are not expensive.

I personally would never fly with a pilot who has plastic balls.

Rubber product and mouldings in Bellville. They have diffrent sizes of those plastic balls. You just drill a hole through. Cheap cheap. Couple of cents each.

Thanks guys. Will go to them this week. Thanks for the price from Solo wings Andy. Not badly priced. But I have some bungee cord left... So will cost me very little making myself.
