Hi George - I'm sure there is nothing to it. Just get out the industrial
sewing machine and go to it. Rebuilding an engine can't be that hard with
a little preparation! I got a pair of new curtains this past winter and
I wouldn't be surprised if they were built by the same folks who did them
originally - they were perfect. I think maybe there are some things that
are best done by those in the know.
Cheers,
Len Drake
