Matching thread

Webbing – 2.5cm x 98cm (view 2)
Rivets – 4 x 9mm
Loops – 2 x 2.5cm

When inserting the rivets we recommend using a very solid surface like a cement floor so there is no movement.
For the loops we have two options, these or these. The 1″ ones offer a snug fit and the 1.25″ ones allow for a bit more movement, it’s a personal preference.
