REPLACE
Replace a damaged fixed webbing keeper by fabricating as follows:
1. Remove an unserviceable fixed webbing keeper by cutting the stitching that secures the keeper to the
adapter web.
2. Restitch the original fixed keeper area on the adapter web according to original construction details, using
a heavy-duty sewing machine, 4 to 6 stitches per inch, and size 6 nylon thread.
3. Cut a length of 1-inch wide type III filament-reinforced pressure-sensitive tape long enough to make three
turns around the adapter web.
4. Wrap the tape length tight around the adapter web in the original fixed keeper location.
