I’ve replaced one bungee with a single six foot length of 550 paracord. One side attaches to the slack sprocket as normal. The other side I tied to a pair of 3.5" SAS HDDs (with their carriers). The paracord is looped over the bearing at the center of the top strut and allowed to dangle behind the waste board six inches from the center (to not interfere with the electronics).
Right now, the para-cord drags in a couple spots. This approach could use some improvements.
I’ve yet to run this, but I notice already in it’s current position, the slack is a bit more taken up. I’m curious to see how it compares during an actual run.
