A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

A seat belt and harness (Harness, Aircraft Safety, Shoulder Adjustable Type, MB-1A)?
Washing it, would damage the leather parts, right?
So, how do I clean it?
Thank you.

Mild soap and water on the webbing (sparingly), and saddle soap on the leather.

a diluted vinegar & water solution will help too along with a scrub brush & thorough rinse. removes mildew / mold. try it on an inconspicuous area 1st, to test compatibility. it worked wonders!!!! let thoroughly dry in a well aired area......... it worked wonders on a canvas navigator's case that i bought that was horribly stained, turned out like new. got the info from a a canvas / fabric restorer.

Thanks, Tom.
BTW, if you see your friend in OH, please ask him if he has had the time to check for the PT-19 stuff in the barn.

Tulio, the weapons collectors clean their web gear with a mixture of Woolite and warm water. If you rinse and still smell Woolite, rinse again.

Thank you, Rick.
I am going to try the Woolite approach.
I know for sure, that I am going to use Pecard's for the leather, since I have had good experience with that product on old rifle slings.
Thank you, to all.
