## REPLACING CROSSPORT 

<img src='content_image/581487.jpg'>

1. Carefully cut and remove the rib from the bottom skin exposing the damaged crossport. 

2. Apply a basic patch as outlined in WP 0015 00. 

3. The patch must extend from the bottom of the rib to the top. 

For replacing a crossport, a ¼-inch needle gauge and a double needle sewing machine with cloth/fabric puller attachment is recommended. 

## NOTE 

4. Using either a light-duty single needle sewing machine or a double needle light/medium-duty sewing machine with cloth/fabric puller attachment, re-sew the rib to the top and bottom skin using size E nylon thread, and 7 to 11 stitches per inch. 

5. Using a standard size template and hot knife, carefully cut a new crossport into the new fabric as close to the original construction as possible.
