Rudder circuit bungees

I am missing the bungees that go from the rudder pedals to the fuselage frame on SE-FUT. From the drawings the bungees appear to be 3/8” diameter, however no lengths are given on the drawings. I plan to make these from 3/8” aircraft bungee cord and hook fittings. Does anyone know how long these should be, or perhaps more useful, what tension is required? I have the original all flying rudder and guess there needs to be a reasonable tension in these bungees in order to centralise the rudder in flight.

Hi Stuart,
I made and fitted the bungees a couple of months ago after you posted the picture on one of the other threads. Thanks again for the information
