ARMY TM 10-1670-281-23&P AIR FORCE T.O. 13C5-32-2 NAVY NAVAIR 13-1-32 2-52.  68-Inch Pilot Parachute (cont). 10    Position  the  tie  running  end  against  the  suspension  line  length  and  beginning  at  a  point  2 inches above the formed knots, secure the tie running end to the suspension line by stitching a  3/16-inch  wide  by  2-inch  long  row  of  double-throw  zig-zag  stitching  toward  the  secured knots.  Finish the stitch row as close as possible to the knots.  Stitching will be made with a light-duty  sewing  machine  using  size  E  nylon  thread,  7  to  11  stitches  per  inch.    Trim  the remaining cord loose end to a point immediately adjacent to the stitch row and lightly sear the exposed cord end. (e)  Replacing a type II coreless nylon cord suspension line.    Replace  an  unserviceable  type  II coreless nylon cord suspension line by fabricating using the following procedures: 1  Using the procedures in paragraphs (d) 1 through a, above, type If coreless nylon cord, and a light-duty  sewing  machine  using  size  E  nylon  thread,  7  to  11  stitches  per  inch,  attach  a replacement suspension line to the canopy skirt and prepare to attach the opposite line end to the original connector link assembly. 2    At  a  point  9  1/8  inches  below  the  mark  previously  made  on  the  cord  running  end,  cut  and remove any excess cord length.  Taper-cut the cord end by 1/2 inch. 3  Using a suitable marking aid, mark the cord length at point 7 1/8, 9 1/8, and 16 1/4 inches from the cord tapered end. 4    Aline  the  first  mark  on  the  cord  length  with  the  inside  edge  of  the  connector  link  bar  at  the location of the original suspension line and pass the tapered running end around the connector link bar twice (figure 2-148). NOTE The line attachment to the connector link in figure 2-148 is shown loose for clarity only.  The loop splice will be tight against the connector link bar before stitching. 5  Insert a suitable splicing aid into the cord casing at the 16 1/4-inch mark and work the splicing aid through the cord casing to the outside at the 9 1/8-inch mark. 6  Attach the cord tapered end to the splicing aid and pull the splicing aid back through the cord casing until the 7 1/8- and 8 1/8-inch marks are alined. 7    Hold  the  alined  marks  together  and  continue  pulling  the  splicing  aid  back  through  the  cord casing to the outside at the 16 1/4-inch mark, allowing only the cord tapered end to protrude from the cord casing. 8  Remove the cord tapered end from the splicing aid.  While holding the alined marks together, stretch the cord length to permit the tapered end to recede into the cord casing. 2-206
