SIX (6) PARACHUTE PACK BUNGIE CORDS, THEY VARY IN SIZE AND SOME ARE A BIT FRAGILE, SO WE DID NOT ATTACH THEM. WE DID HAVE THEM ATTACHED PREVIOUSLY AND THEY WERE OK. THE PULL CORD AND HANDLE APPEAR OK AND INTACT. NOT SURE IF THE STITCHING THAT HOLDS THE HANDLE CASE IS ORIGINAL. WE HAVE ATTACHED A WIRE AT THE CENTER OF THE PARACHUTE PACK WHERE THE SILVER COLORED O-RINGS ARE TO KEEP THEM IN PLACE. WE HAD DIFFICULTLY IN PULLING IT TOGETHER DUE TO A TIGHT PACKING. ONCE THE RINGS COME TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE, THE CABLE CAN BE PLACED INTO POSITION AND ALSO ATTACH THE BUNGIE CORDS. THE PARTS HAVE NUMEROUS STENCIL NUMBERS OR LETTERS EVERYWHERE TO MANY TO LIST THAT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN.
