Cargo cover rubber cord cut length

[serpico760]

Does anyone know where the information is or can just provide the information for the standard cut lengths for the different pieces of rubber cord used to make up the cargo cover tie down on an M1083?
I found the best prices for the official 5/16" shock cord hooks from defender.com and I found the best prices for the 5/16" EPDM rubber cord on McMaster.

I am not sure if your asking for a schematic type thing that diagrams out each piece of rubber cord, but if you are I dont have that. How I work what your asking for is I thread the rubber cord through the sides and front of the cargo cover and the bed has hooks every couple feet or so, leave the ends coming out the back of the cargo cover loos for now and install the cover and tighten the ends till you achieve the proper tension then figure the best way to incorporate the rear part of the cargo cover, again there are hooks on the tail gate area just for this purpose then put your ends on and attach accordingly in the way that provides the best security and good tension. Its very simple all your trying to do is keeping the cargo cover secure and in place, dont overthink it because its all pretty easy!

Thanks I do have an existing set on there the problem is after 3 years one side has rotted in the Sun and started falling apart. I could just match the side that hasn't rotted yet because it was always shaded, however it has stretched out a little and i would kind of prefer a cut list if that was made available somewhere to get the optimum sizing for each piece. I figured one of the TM might have had that cut list, but haven't had much time to go through them very much to find where that might be if it does exist.
