(1 Measure and mark a line 1inch from the
end marked "small loop or A". Measure and mark
another line 5 inches from the first mark. Place a
screwdriver shaft over the 1-inch mark and bend the
l-inch portion to a 90 degree angle. Use the same
technique to bend the 5-inch portion to a 90 degree
angle from the remaining strap.
(2) Measure and mark a line 1 inch from the

and mark another line 8 inches from the first mark.
Use a screwdriver shaft to bend to 90 degree angles as
in step (1) above.

loop to desired form, secure attaching ends of loop in a
suitable vise or tape ends together until ready for
drilling. Follow this procedure for "large loop or B" end
