ARMY TM 10-1670-281-23&P AIR FORCE T.O. 13C5-32-2 NAVY NAVAIR 13-1-32 2-26.  Canopy Line (cont). (w)  Sew line and free end together in accordance with figure 2-114.  Cut off excess end of line close to stitching. (x)    Compare  knots  with  adjacent  knots,  and  trace  line  from  link  assembly  to  canopy  skirt  for correctness of attachment and position. (y)  Replace end of pocket band removed in (k), above, according to original construction details. (2)  Replacing radial line.  A radial line portion of a canopy line that is damaged within a radial seam will be replaced by splicing one end of the replacement line to the original vent line.  The replacement radial line running end will then be routed down through the original radial seam channel and spliced on to the upper end of the original suspension line.  Fabricate the replacement line in accordance with the following: (a)  Place the canopy in proper layout on a suitable work surface. (b)    Remove  the  upper,  intermediate,  and  lower  radial  seam  reinforcement  tapes  from  the applicable  radial  line  radial  seam  by  cuffing  the  stitching  securing  the  tape  lengths  to  the canopy.  Also cut the stitching securing the V-tab and suspension line together. (c)  Using a suitable marking aid, mark the damaged radial line at the lower edge of the lower lateral band. (d)  Remove and temporarily secure one end of the applicable pocket band. (e)  Working below the canopy skirt, pull 10 inches of the original radial line from the radial seam and cut the line length at a point 6 inches above the- mark made in (c), above. (f)  Cut a 35-foot length of type IV coreless nylon cord and wax one end. (g)  Insert the waxed end of the cord into the-sheath cover of the original radial line and secure the two line ends together with whip stitching (see figure, 2-115). (h)  Working at the canopy vent and using-a suitable marking aid, mark the original radial line at the upper edge of the upper lateral band. (i)  Pull 10 inches of the damaged radial line from the upper end of the radial seam and cut the line length at a point 6 inches below the mark made in (h), above. (j)    Pull  the  original  radial  line  up  through  the  radial  seam  until  the  attached  replacement  line length extends 2 inches beyond the upper edge of the upper lateral band. (k)  Cut the replacement radial line length even with the upper edge of the upper lateral band. Temporarily secure the line end to the upper lateral band with tacking or pushpins. (l)  Cut a 6 inch length of 9/16-inch-wide, type I nylon webbing and wax each end by 1/4 inch. 2-140
