OK, now you're smellin' what I'm steppin' in! ;-P
Now, the bungee doesn't need to be nearly that thick. See if you can get something more like 1/8" or 3/16" at the most. The idea is just to keep tension on the UH cable at all times so it stays on top of the CB instead of going slack and slipping off to one side. Of course, you can achieve the same result by keeping tension on both UH and DH lines at all times, so the bungee isn't really needed at all. Also, good to see that the block does indeed have a becket, and so you can just do away with the hooks on each end, and tie the bungee directly to the eyestrap and becket - no need for the hooks. It's a permanent thing, but will need replacing over time as the bungee looses it's bungeeness (is that even a word?)
