Internal cargo tie-downs for Yakima cargo box

I bought a SpaceBooster (at REI's 20% off sale) Monday for my Aero Wagon and was trying to figure out how to secure a partial load so it would not go slamming forward in the event of a hard stop. I found a nifty gadget at the hardware store called a Keeper ZipHook. It slides onto bulk 3/8 inch bungee cord and allows you to adjust the length of the cord by jamming the cord into a tapered notch, like a line stopper on a sailboat. I bought two 4-packs of hooks, plus 10 feet of cord, for about $14.00 and made three adjustable cords. The coolest thing about them is that the hook size is 3/4 inch, and the Yakima retaining nuts (inside the box) are also that size, so the hooks snap _perfectly_ around the nuts. The color and type of material even matches - they look factory.
I looked for the hooks on the Web, but the closest thing I found was these pre-made cords, in various lengths. If you have a Yakima box, these will work great.
