3.  Some harnesses are pre-sewn along the edges  with a medium duty machine and E thread. If so,  duplicate this. 4.  Using the harness machine and 5-cord nylon thread,  sew the junction as marked with the original pattern.  [Figure G] 5.  Mark the length of the chest strap to include enough  needed for the stop end. If the chest strap is to be  configured for a thread-thru adapter, an additional  3.50 inches is needed for the roll back. 6.  After determining the cut length, place a mark at 3.50  inches on the BACK side of the chest strap. Fold to  this mark and then fold the webbing one more time  for three layers.  [Figures H  and  I] 7.  Using the zigzag machine, sew across the center of  the stop end fold. This results in a loose fold that jams  against the adapter in the event of slippage of the chest  strap.  [Figure J] 8.  If the MLW was attached to the backpad assembly,  reattach as per the original configuration. If the backpad  is attached in such a manner that does not allow  inspection of the back side of the MLW, inspect the  stitching at this time before reattaching the backpad. 9.  Reinstall the ripcord housing and secure. 7-53
