Hi Andrew, It is a similar sythetic material, Mark the hammer Rail carfully at each bracket, take a set square and mark the end shanks to the end wippens. You can now remove the hammer rail, only 4 or 5 screws. The wippens are now exposed so you can remove the old material. Replace with new leather. Reinstall rail to markings. Reulate action. Since the new material will not be the same thickness, Hammer line, let off, and drop, will be way off. About 8hrs for the complete job. Roger I have done several this way, it is a lot faster than removing the wips. No extra spacing and travel required.
