New Estes Shock Cord Mount

John Boren mentioned a new Estes shock cord anchor used in the Pro Series II E2X kits at the NARAM Manufacturers Forum. I went to the Estes Website to check it out - CLICK HERE
These illustrations came from the Pro Series II E2X Ascender kit.
Enlarge pictures 2,3 and 4 if needed.


The anchor is a two piece plastic interlocking anchor.





From what I can figure out from the instructions:
The elastic shock cord is set in the "J" piece and folded back up.

The "J" piece slides into the ribs on the "I" piece.
Epoxy is applied into the open slots on the back of the "I" piece.



Epoxy is applied to the back of the assembly and set 3" back from the top of the body tube.
