Repair Webbing and Buckles

NOTE

It is not necessary to replace an entire piece of

webbing when only a small portion is damaged and

webbing does not need to be threaded through a

buckle for adjustment. The damaged area can be

cut out and replaced, leaving a portion of the original

piece in place.

1. Identify the webbing (Figure 5, Item 1) or buckle (Figure 5, Item 2) component that is damaged and

obtain a replacement, or fabricate one from bulk or serviceable salvage stocks. For fixed webbing

pieces, add an inch to length of replacement piece.

2. Remove unserviceable webbing (Figure 5, Item 1) or buckle (Figure 5, Item 2) from assembly.

Undamaged components should be removed and salvaged wherever possible.

3. Assemble and sew buckles (Figure 5, Item 2) and webbing (Figure 5, Item 1) as required to form

new assemblies.

4. Position webbing (Figure 5, Item 1) and buckle (Figure 5, Item 2) assemblies on tent fabric and sew.

For fixed webbing pieces, overlap each end by inch.
