Stitch and restitch with size 6 nylon thread, that matches the color of the original stitching, when possible.

formation by ½-inch. Restitch directly over the original stitching; follow the original stitch pattern as closely as
possible. Stitch according to WP 0012 00 and Table 2, WP 0012 00, SEWING PROCEDURES.
REPLACE
Replace a damaged short buffer by fabricating as follows:
1. Remove an original buffer from a small attaching loop by cutting the stitching securing the buffer within
the loop.
2. Cut a 6-inch length of 13/4-inch wide, type VIII cotton webbing and wax the ends.
3. Double the webbing length and allow one end to overlap the opposite end by ½-inch.
4. Place the doubled webbing length in the original attaching loop according to original installation details.
Secure the buffer in the loop by stitching according to original construction details, using a heavy-duty
sewing machine, 4 to 6 stitches per inch with size 6 nylon thread.
