Tornado Tempest Bungee Strap Metal Holder K50979700

This is the metal holder the Tornado Tempest bungee strap anchors to. Tacony’s dealer record names it Metal Holder, Bungee Strap; the parts book prints the same number against Plate Holder Strap. Two are fitted per machine.

What the Bungee Strap Metal Holder Does

The holder gives the strap a fixed anchor with a radius the elastic can bear against without being cut. That radius is the point of the part: a strap pulled over a sharp or distorted edge wears through at that spot long before the elastic itself is finished.

Where It Sits on the Machine

One anchors each bungee strap on the Tempest filter and blower diagram, on the filter and duct assembly.

When to Replace It

Replace a holder that is bent, cracked, or has developed a sharp edge where the strap bears. If you are getting through straps quickly, this is the first thing to check — it is a low-cost part and it is usually the cause.

Fitting Notes

Check the bearing edge with a fingertip before refitting; if you can feel a burr or a wear notch, replace it. Fit the holder square so the strap pulls straight rather than at an angle across the edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

My bungee straps keep wearing through. What should I check?

Check these holders. A holder that has bent or worn a sharp edge will cut through a strap at the same spot every time, and replacing straps alone will not fix it. Run a fingertip over the bearing edge — if you can feel a burr or a notch, replace the holder.

Is the metal holder the same as the strap anchor on the frame?

No. The frame fixing strap anchor is K50979680 and belongs to the handle and frame assembly. K50979700 is the holder for the bungee straps on the filter and blower assembly. Different parts, different positions.
