Renner USA sells a kit that they call the Turbo Extender. $25 if I remember right. The standard set of Renner Turbo Wippens don't have springs on all 88 wippens. The springs only run about 3/4 of the way up the scale. The Turbo Extender kit allows you to run the springs all the way to the top. It consists of a set of flanges with spring retaining loops, springs, and a length of cord. The cord is more than long enough to do the couple of dozen springs in the kit. It might be long enough to do a whole set. So, buying the kit would be one way of getting some cord. Renner USA might also sell the cord separately. It might be worth asking them.
