NOTE
Double needle sewing machine can be used in place of single needle sewing machine.
NOTE
Each extended gore is a complete assembly that is sewn over a finished opening. You
will remove the damaged extended gore assembly and sew a new one on in the same
location.
NOTE
There are two different extended gore assemblies, left and right. There is no difference
between the forward and aft extended gore assemblies.
NOTE
The forward extended gores are located on gores 5 and 23 (left and right respectively).
NOTE
To ensure proper installation of the new extended gore ensure that the sewing machine
that will be used to conduct the repair has been tested for proper stitching pattern,
stitches per inch, tension, and correct type of thread.
Replace a damaged AFT extended gore as follows:
1. Carefully cut the attaching loops on the extended gore, this will allow for removal of the upper control
lines.
2. Slide the attaching loop out of the girth-hitch knot on the control line.
3. Pin the upper control lines to the exposed radial of the open gore (radial 5 or 23) at the trailing edge
of the extended gore to maintain continuity.
