a. Restitching. Restitch radial tape. Using a light duty sewing machine and size E nylon thread of contrasting
color. Stitch over original pattern, 7 to 11 stitches per inch. Lock each row of stitches two inches at each end. When
radial webbing stitching has failed and section separation from radial webbing has occurred at the leading or trailing edge
of ringslots, the repair will be accomplished as follows:
(1) Restitch failure in accordance with original construction. Sew a double throw zig-zag stitching across the
width of radial webbing at leading/trailing edge of ringslot. Zig-zag Stitching will be 1/4-3/16 inch wide
and centered on width of reinforced hem of leading/ trailing edge and will extend 1/2 inch beyond radial
tape (A, figure 2-41).
(2) As an option, if a zig-zag sewing machine is not available, an hour glass stitch pattern 1 114-inches in
length may be used. Stitching should start on reinforced hem of leading/ trailing edge, approximately
1/8inches from edge of ring, and proceed in length along radial seam of ring (B, figure 2-41).
