Gear Track Wing Nut Modification

Using ZipTies has been a succesfull method for tieing off cord and bungies.
Only melt one end of cord so it can pass through the hole(s) in the Wingnut you have drilled.
You only melt one end now because you are going to cut again and re-melt.
I am using 1/8inch 160lb Para Cord.
Do not over drill you holes.. holes are drilled closest to the ends.
Pass the melted end through the holes.
Cinch you ZipTies just enough to snug measure your loops.
I suggest your loops just big enough you can pass a normal bungie cord hook.. but the size of the loop is your choice.
I suggest you experiment with one wingnut so you get the process down.. then you can assembly line the process and it goes quickly
 

 You have figured out your loop size... cinch super tight the ZipTie...
Cut off the loose ends...
And now you will melt the ends until you have a little blob.. which further keeps the ZipTie from passing off the end.
DON'T MAKE TOO BIG A BLOB !
Because the ZipTie and blob will be tucked into the head of WingNut
 

 And if you get it right... the finished off end will tuck neatly inside the head of the Wingnut.. you may need to use needlenose pliers to press the ends in.
The ZipTie "likes" to fit in the head at a correct direction.. ie: the head of the Wingnut is bigger towards the middle.. which accommodates the ZipTie oval shape
You can see some are not perfect.. but close enough.. and work just as well.
I suggest you experiment with one wingnut so you get the process down.. then you can assembly line the process and it goes quickly.
