not a bdooly clue! lol!!!  first,can you resize your pics on Photo bucket its easy to do and then all pics will be the same size as mine and wont need to scroll L/R.

right ille do this as best as i can, the ends need to be pulled through the holes,but the top inch needs folding over and with a bit of string thread through the loop in the band end and then used to pull the band through the fork holes,only by enough to slip the match stick through the elastics loop to stop it pulling through,simply copy this on the other hole and there you have it,the strongest milbro clone on the block!

I would attach the bands the same way as you would do that with a regular "Over The Top" flat band slingshot, like the Fish Hunter.

Just fold them in the middle, lengthwise, and attach them to the back side of the slingshot. Secure them with a length of sturdy string just underneath the holes for the original bands, simply tie the string around the fork arms.

You should use the constriction knot for this method, there are many videos up on youtube that will show you how to tie this very efficient knot.

Regards
