DocJ,
I like your approach to shortening the 5th bow bungee cords (one on each side).
I'm curious to know how that large copper water pipe section, (even though wrapped in duct tape to prevent rub through on the top fabric materials, etc.) will fit back into the top mechanism and fabric without creating a lump. Can you give us an idea as to how it appears to be working from a looks department as well as an interference with hoses, wiring,fabric and bow sections?
I wonder how using a waxed shoe lace instead of the zip ties, and then removing the copper tube out altogether would work. Use the copper tube or something of similar size and shape to wrap the bungee cords around, but tie them off tightly with a shoe lace, cut off the extra shoe lace ends, and pull the tubing out and discard it.
Would the bungee cords then slip out of the knot over time? I don't know, but maybe they won't. Maybe someone will try this method and let us know.
DocJ, I think you're on to something here.
