REPAIR
Replace broken or loose tacking securing the short buffer in the 5-inch long single attaching loop by retacking
according to original tacking details; use one turn single, tape, lacing and tying at each tacking point. Secure
the tacking with a square knot and locking knot; trim ends to ½-inch.
REPLACE
Replace a damaged or missing long buffer in a 61/8-inch long single attaching loop by fabricating as follows:
1. If applicable, remove the original long butter by cutting the tacking securing the buffer within the large
attaching loop.
2. Cut a 10-inch length of 13/4-inch wide, type X cotton webbing and wax the ends.
3. Double the webbing length and position the buffer in the original buffer location, within the large single
attaching loop.
4. Secure the buffer to the loop webbing by handtacking at three points using one turn single, tape, lacing
and tying at each point according to original construction details. Secure the ends of each tacking with a
square knot and trim tacking ends to ½-inch.
