That's sweet, Ted. With the little blocks, I imagine you get uniform tension on all parts of the bungee. And no cold-finger issued opening up the hatch. Very nice.

: I just added details to my website showing my latest hatch closure method. I
: used the famous "Leidy Lid" design but modified it so that the
: tension on one side of each hatch can be adjusted from the cockpit. So far
: it's working great. For more details take a look at
