Fabric bushing installation to repair a hole

摘要

A method and system for repairing a damaged hole (46) includes a deformable rod (62) and a fabric (64) wrapped around a middle portion (68) of the rod (62). A first portion (66) of the rod (62) is inserted into the damaged hole (46; 48). The rod (62) is stretched to align the middle portion (68) of the rod (62) and the fabric (64) with an inside circumference of the hole (46). The rod (62) is then relaxed to compress the fabric (64) against the inside circumference of the hole (46).
