: In the photo below, imagine taking the cord out of loop... then flop the soft
: padeye loop over 180 degrees... then twirl the whole thing 'round 180
: degrees and reinstall the shock cord. The mounting screw is now hidden. Is
: there something I'm missing? If so, what ... and if not, then why doesn't
: everyone (who uses this arrangement) do it that way?

If they get spun in use they lengthen then they flop back over easing some tension and will twist the bungee. To be stable you want a set up that increases tension when knocked out of position.
