[Antennas] shock cords exp.

2002年5月13日 17:51:30 -0700

Fully agree.
I have had some of the black (rubber?) ones deteriate faster than the round 
ones with braided colour fabric over. I use only for shot trips to hold 
the trunk lid (boot top)down, hold lumber together. I donot trust them for 
any length of time. For a motorcycle, leather cinch belts are best, or, 
nylon (?) straps with wratched system to hold down tight.
My nephew was tying down some stuff in his small truck. The bundgie did a 
jump, he lost some skin on his face and some flesh on his hand. Sling 
shot is right.
