Figure 2-17. Scuff Pad V-Ring Hole Reinforcement Details
2. MAIN STRAP KEEPERS. The two main strap keepers (Figure 2-15) are attached near the ends of the scuff pad and
are made of 1 3/4-inch (4.445 cm) wide Type VII, olive drab nylon webbing.
a. Restitching. Restitch according to original construction, the specifics in Table 2-3, and paragraph 2.8.
b. Replacement. Cut the stitching that secures the defective keeper to the scuff pad and remove it from the pad.
Fabricate a new keeper by cutting a 7-inch (17.780 cm) length of Type VII nylon webbing and sear the ends. Place the
length of webbing in the same position as the original keeper and stitch as outlined in paragraph 2.8 using the specifics in
Table 2-3 and Figure 2-18.
