Title: chair straps
Post by: gene on June 18, 2013, 05:41:44 am
Sorry - I can't get photobucket to give me a thumb picture.

Howdy,

Any ideas on replacing these straps? A clip is missing so can I wrap new straps around the frame and connect sew/connect them somehow?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Are you planning to replace with RUBBER webbing? Or another type, such as Elasbelt? I have just stapled Elasbelt webbing to the wood on the inside edge of the clip slots before.

I can send you a dozen clips if you want to go that route.
