Job #13 - sail cover velcro replace - done..

The plan worked a treat... all done and dusted inside of 45 minutes... one down and a whole load more to go... 


Dropped the idea of a rivet both sides as the pop rivet didn't have enough depth...


Drill through with a 4mm drill bit (I used one for metal not wood as the wood ones were too sharp and tore up the webbing), push the rivet through, slip the washer on on the reverse, squeeze the two sides together with a pair of pliers, and then crimp the rivet..  I found that if I didn't do the squeezing bit first, the rivet didn't sheer cleanly..


That'll do..  not the most exciting of posts, but hey, we get our jollies where we can...
