gecko velcro strap replacement

[jip40]

The stitching on the velcro has started to unravel and I found the replacement velcro straps on Sherrill. I don't recognize the attachment for the velcro straps, any help on replacing them would be greatly appreciated.

there's a velcro strip hidden on the inside, then there's two small screws. easy stuff.

Maybe I have an older pair that is different. All the attachments for the velcro strap are rounded and smooth and don't have an endentation for a philips or flathead. I just want to replace the straps, not the whole cuff, not sure if you were talking about the 2 screws that were attaching the cuff to the spurs.

The older Gecks have the straps riveted on. To replace them, you need to drill out the old rivets, and use a rivet gun to put the new ones on. Id recommend using an pneumatic riveter, not a pop riveter.

Its relatively easy, I just replaced mine last fall.
