Harness clip damage
1. https://calstock.org.uk/elf/2022/03/20/brushcutter-diary-2022

Orange strap riveted to harness

The repair eventually that. The main black strap broke which put too much weight on the fix and sheared the copper rivet.

Replaced the 3mm copper rivet with 6mm stainless bolt and added another 'strap'

7/08/23 2 Orange straps bolted to harness
