Here's the anchor for the shock cord. It's a 3/16ths eye bolt. High power rockets use this method frequently and there are others. I chose this one to be doubly sure I had a secure means of holding my shock cord, which will be a thick cord of nylon or Kevlar. I got it from the local Home Depot store. I haven't glued any of the main centering rings yet. I want to be certain of placement before doing that. The entire unit is designed to be removed for servicing, another idea I picked up from the good Doctor. Measure twice, glue once!
