Bungee tool key dimension request

[Bill Weiser]

It's time to replace my landing gear shock cords, the left side is lower than the right sitting on the ramp (with no pilot in the plane).

I looked up the pictures of the original and Darren's bungee tool.
The picture is great but...

A few important dimensions would allow me to build my own tool without having to crawl under my plane prior to the task at hand.

1 Gap distance (distance from end to end of the shock cord tabs in the plane)

2 Stroke length (distance of active thread for stretching)

3 Guide pin diameter (Old tool shows a pilot pin that probably engages in a hole in the cross tube between the cord tabs in the airplane)

Thanks!

By the time u gather up the screw and stuff i think you will find Darrens $90 tool a bargain. I could let you copy mine but the $15 shipping each way would make it a $60 tool and your time has to be better spent doing somthing else im sure. I say that because the Darren has a jig already set up to make production copies and has made inprovments along the way. But if you insist im sure we can find the dimensions once i get the moving van unloaded and find the tool.

Orrr get the one from the TOC, copy it while you have it and ship to the next guy?? I have the original ones here to copy too and the TOC published a nice shop sketch for the newsletter...
