THESE NEXT FEW PICS ARE ONLY TO HELP GIVE YOU AN IDEA, I MUST ADMIT AM AM NOT VERY GOOD AND STILL PRACTICING IT MYSELF.
I CUT THREE SLOTS ON TOP OF THE HOOD APPROX 10MM WIDE, I HAD TWO STRAPS OF LEATHER CUT ABOUT 4MM WIDE AND ABOUT 30MM LONG, A BIT LONG BUT I CAN CUT OFF EXCESS LATER.
THE SLIT AT FRONT OF HOOD AND THE SMOOTH SIDE OF THE STRAPS FACING INTO THE CENTER OF THE HOOD PULL THE STRAP THROUGH THEN FOLD OVER AND PULL THE OTHER END THROUGH THE BACK SLIT, PULL DOWN GIVING EQUAL LENGTHS.
THE DO THE SAME WITH THE OTHER STRAP THEN THEY SHOULD BE SIDE BY SIDE WITH 4 STRAP ENDS COMING OUT THE INSIDE OF THE HOOD.
ONCE PULLED TIGHT PUSH A NEEDLE TYPE TOOL DOWN THROUGH THE MIDDLE HOLE TO OPEN UP BETWEEN THE TWO STRAPS.
USING YOU MEDICAL PLIERS PUSH THEM UP FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND PULL EACH STRAP UP THROUGH TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOOD.
HOPE YOU HAVE GOT THAT SO FAR
WITH THE HOOD FACING YOU AND LOOKING DOWN ON THE TOP THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS.
NOW AS WE ARE LOOKING AT IT FOLD THE FRONT RIGHT OVER THE BACK RIGHT.
THE BACK RIGHT CROSSES OVER THE FRONT RIGHT TOWARDS THE BACK LEFT.
(UNDERSTAND I HOPE).
NOW THE BACK LEFT CROSSES OVER THE BACK RIGHT TOWARDS THE FRONT LEFT.
THE FRONT LEFT NOW CROSSES OVER THE BACK LEFT TOWARDS THE FRONT RIGHT AND PUSHED THROUGH THE LOOP MADE BY THE FIRST STRAP CROSSING OVER WHICH IS THE FRONT RIGHT.
ENLARGE THE PICS THEY WILL PROBERLY SHOW BETTER WHAT I MEAN.
NOW TO EXPLAIN THE REST WHICH ISN'T GOING TO BE EASY.
WITH THE MEDICAL PLIERS PUSH DOWN THROUGH THE MIDDLE COMING OUT BESIDE ONE OF THE STRAPS AND CLAMP ON TO THE STRAP WHICH IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STRAP PULLING UP THROUGH THE MDDLE, GO AROUND AND DO ALL 4 STRAPS BRING THEM UP THROUGH THE MIDDLE.
TO BE HONEST MINE DON'TALWAYS LOOK THAT GREAT FROM NOW ON AND I HAVE CHECKED IT A FEW TIMES TO MAKE SURE I AM DOING IT RIGHT.
I THINK IT HAPPENS WHEN I START TO PULL IT TOGETHER AND TRYING TO THIGHTEN IT ALL TOGETHER.
