Point is, when initially purchasing the cord to replace them slinged chocks, cut them to size by using the heat knife at the location you get it from.
Another old trick is to cut the cord at 60 or so degree angled slice thus creating a nice slanted point making the initial insertion that much easier.

And most of us gave up on cord slung chocks/stoppers over 25 years ago when all Stoppers and even Hex's went to WIRE.
Just saying...

If I'd known how to replace the wires....trust me, I would have! All of my lead stoppers are on wire...I cord worn out extras to teach new climbers and for a couple of backups.
That is why you buy em cheap on ebay and gather a large collection of both "lead" and "leaver" stoppers.
That shot doesn't even show all the #1-4 Micro Steel, RP's and HB Offsets.

Repairing cables on stoppers are a breeze. Make my own heads and rivet hangers as well.
