[rebel-builders] Bungee Gear

You want them parallel to each other so you can use premade 9044 loops. You
need a dozen of them.. 6 on each side (3 front/3 back) and at that price you
may as well just kill two birds with one stone and purchase my dies spring
struts for twice the amount you'll pay ACSpruce for a dozen bungees and
never worry about failure or future bungee replacement costs.

Just my honest opinion and a quick sales pitch I guess as well.

I am building my Rebel #175 bungee gear and am in need of some advice.
In the original manual it says to use AN5-35A bolts for the bungee at a 90
degrees to each other which would make the bungee be in a U from the top
bolt to the lower bolt. In the new manual it specs AN6-35A for the bungee
with the bolts paralell to each other so it would be like a large O ring.
Is the new method better than the old? Are the AN5 bolts OK or do I need
to get some AN6 instead? Also the original specs for the safety cable of
1/8", the new uses 3/16". I have the roll of 1/8" that came with the kit.
Is it strong enough or do I need the 3/16"?
I purchaced Cleveland wheels, brakes, axles for it as well. But that will
be another discussion.
Thanks a bunch,
Curtis
