Stitch and restitch broken or loose stitching with size 6 nylon thread, which matches the color of the original

Replace damaged locking stow loops on the cotton bag by fabricating as follows:
NOTE
Replacement of locking stow loops on the nylon bag is not authorized.
1. Cut and remove the stitching which secures the original loop webbing length between points 1-inch back
from the edge of the suspension line protector flap.
2. Remove the original locking stow loops by cutting the loop webbing length at the points specified in
REPAIR, above.
3. Cut a 20 1/8-inch length of 1 ¾-inch wide, type VIII cotton webbing and wax the ends (WP 0015 00,
SEARING AND WAXING).
4. Using a suitable marking aid, mark the webbing length at points 2 5/8, 9 5/8, 11 5/8, and 18 5/8-inches from
one end.
5. Between the 2 5/8- and 9 5/8-inch marks, roll ½-inch of each webbing edge into the center of the webbing
width and allow the webbing edges to overlap.
