I had to check this recently due to making some knotless end caps. I am pleased to confirm that you are not going mad Derek - 3mm.

I know over the years that there have been at least two maybe more thicknesses of bungee used on REVs.Can someone enlighten me please.

Seems to me that, at least, the early REV I SUL was one with the thinner bungee.

He does the avatars for all his friends, which is why there is only one other person with a Jonesey Original.
The bungies are black (wouldn't want anyone suggesting I verge of topic)
