Space X Falcon Build Part 8 Cord Prep

Both sides of the Kevlar and elastic shock cord get tied loops.

The "baffle" plate has a small hole to the outside of the larger holes.
At one time, I would guess the smaller hole was supposed to be a Kevlar anchoring point.


The Kevlar is looped through two of the larger holes on the plate.

NOTE: The baffle plate keeps the parachutes nearer the front end of the rocket during boost. A single baffle plate still requires flameproof wadding to protect the parachutes.
