[ARC5] HS-33 parts

[Mkdorney]

Try pushing a stiff wire through the leather headband from the side furthest away from where you’re trying to get the wire to, attach the brown wire to the end of the stiff wire, and then pulling the wire back trough the headband. You are never going to get the softer brown wire through by pushing it through.

I have tried using a messenger wire with limited success.  More than half the time, the old wire will not come out owing to the leather shrinking.  The newer, imported fake leather headbands are easy but most have good wire as do the 60's vintage USAF HB-7 plastic (vice leather) headbands.  I try and work with original wire, when present.

>> I suggest you visit a well equipped but small (not big box) hardware store.  You'll be surprised to see what you'll find in those little slide-out boxes of parts.  Do not overlook jewelry-related repair items as well, since they have various small pieces designed to work as clasps and attachments.
