Squirrel Stronglite BASE harness Service Bulletin

Recommended Posts

Service Bulletin about Squirrel BASE harnesses.
A mandatory inspection before the next jump.
Inspect the stitching at the shoulder joint, where the MLW and diagonal back straps meet.
Apparently some-one suffered an unstable opening and broke some stitching.

Am I allowed to answer my own question?
Yesterday evening a customer dropped off a Squirrel Stronglite harness/container.
It passed the inspection, with no popped stitches, but I still sewed on the update.
I only had to remove one row of stitching on each shoulder, sew on the inlaid piece of webbing and re-close those shoulder joints. The entire job took less than an hour ... well it took an hour if you include reading the Special Inspection and Service Bulletin three times!
Hah!
Hah!
