English Saddle Billet Repair/Dropping Panel

[FlyinBP]

So, I build western saddles, but I'm living in English saddle country right now.  I'm getting ready to replace some billets (Double butt of 5mm chrome billet leather).  I've got some extra falldown staples and nails.  I've got some close-up photos of up under the flap, but I'd really appreciate a few photos at a bit wider angle of a panel unstitched and dropped.  I can just dive in, but a bit of a better idea would be better I reckon.  I've seen one thread here about the subject, but it was again pretty zoomed in.  Any help would be appreciated.
