a. 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 using one turn double, size 8/7 waxed cotton thread at each tacking
point. Secure the tacking with a square knot and locking knot, trim ends to 112-inch.
b. Replacement. Replace a damaged or missing short buffer in a 2-inch-long single attaching loop by fabricating as
follows (figure 2-71):
(1) If applicable, remove original short buffer by cutting the tacking securing buffer within loop.
(2) Cut a 3 1/4-Inch length of 1 3/4-inch wide, type VIII cotton webbing and wax ends in accordance with
paragraph 2-19.
(3) Double webbing length and align ends. Secure aligned ends by stitching two rows of stitching across
webbing width according to details in figure 2-71, using a light-duty sewing machine. Stitching will be 7 to 11
stitches per inch, using size E nylon thread.
(4) Position formed buffer in original short buffer location and secure buffer to attaching loop by hand tacking at
one point (figure 2-83) using one turn double, size 8/7 waxed cotton thread. Secure tacking ends with a
square knot and locking knot and trim ends to 1/2-inch.
