Standard thread for crotch straps ?

[Kitzy]

I was just wondering what the standard thread used in crotch straps to trap the D ring is?

Is it basic nylon, or something special?

Typically 2-inch nylon webbing is what is used. Sometimes a more elastic material is used.

Are you looking to make your own harness?

I mean the thread that goes into the webbing to create a space for the D- ring to go into

Metal tri-glide?

Metal tri-glide?

I know that's a option, but for now want to see about doing it with the sewing.

Hence wanting to know the thread types used, if it's standard nylon I'll be fine.

You mean the stitching, then, right? I suspect that it is also nylon. I've sewn my own harnesses (to make "deluxe" harnesses) with thick, nylon thread. For a "nice" job, I've had a nearby shoe repair shop do the sewing. I plan on getting a manual heavy duty sewing machine in the future for making harnesses for my future dive center.

I have asked the gobbler to use her strongest nylon, if it's normally standard nylon that would be fine, then

I cannot see anything, it seems

I had a really stiff crotchstrap on my old BPW, which tore my wetsuit.

So I swapped it with a softer seatbelt webbing, and a metal serrated triglide is the best thing.

You set the d ring in it. And loop it.
