schuey87 0 #1 February 3, 2006 What's involved in shortening the legstraps/pads(i'm not sure which, I just want the legstraps to be a lot more snug and tight than they currently are.... how much is it likely to cost? Is it a factory job or rigger or master rigger? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 94 #2 February 3, 2006 You probably just have to modify the pads and where they are tacked on to the straps, not modify the straps themselves, so it is not a big deal for any rigger that has replaced leg pads before.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marinho 0 #3 February 3, 2006 Hi, It's a piece of a cake job if the senior/master rigger has a straight, a zizzag and a double needle machine. Just leave the webbing the way it is. If you decide to sell your gear one day, the leg pad can be replaced for a longer one. At our shop, I'd charge US$60.00 for both. It takes an hour to measure you and get the job done. You pretty much can find somebody to do this job in your country. Cheers, Gus Marinho Rigging Solutions Parachute Sales & ServiceGus Marinho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrigger1 2 #7 February 4, 2006 A cheaper method is to remove the stitches at the extreme end and push the leg strap back an inch or two allowing the leg pad to "bunch up"and re-install the stitch. That is if you only need an inch or two!
