ATK614: Webbing 9mm SPECIAL ITEM

Nylon webbing/Grosgrain Ribbon - 9mm wide

  • Manufacturer: Various
  • Product ID: Various

Used in the Spitfire G2 flight stick as a belt. Please note that this item is only used in the G2 Spitfire stick. It is not a standard item and should not be used in other AuthentiKit controls. Discuss with Phil if you really want to use it.

  • Width - 9mm is critical or a fraction more if non metric. 3/8" is OK
  • Nylon or polyester for strength
  • Non stretchy
  • Smooth finish without frilly bits. We don't want abrasion causing pilling
  • And the most important thing which is thickness. Unfortunately it's very rare to be given a reliable measure of thickness in advance of purchasing. We're looking for 0.3 to 0.4mm
  • Any colour!

Supplier Links

The Shindo brand produces very good quality 9mm polyester ribbon that I've used successfully, however many other options will be suitable. Since doing all the R&D on this the Shindo supplier I used has discontinued the item I tested with. This one looks promising though.
