....what hump?
also keeps the chute etc. from moving the cg aft and thus reducing the need for nose weight. not to mention providing an anchor point for the shock cord .

When I've done it that way I still run the shock cord lead on the outside of the ring between the body and ring. The rings aren't all that strong without the hole being glued to something else, like another tube.
I'm just checking to see if that's what others do, too.
