Always interesting to peek behind the curtain to see how these planes are built. Thanks guys!

Where exactly do the leather bumpers go? It looks like two bumpers per gear leg?

You should always coat your bungees with a little layer of hand soap, as it makes sliding them so much easier, and you don't have to hammer and beat them over. After one landing they will be set perfectly!!

A question please, This cord is 3/4 or 5/8 ? Thank

Another video source of methodology shows the installer using bar soap to lubricate .
