Received a tool in the mail from Kobush Welding that makes short work of stretching the nosegear shock cord into position by setting a welded frame against the steering rod attach points, looping the slack cord over a worm gear-driven fork, then turning the worm gear with a socket wrench until the shock cord is stretched over the forward bungee retainer. Suspension compete.
