Anybody got any ideas on this one ? Gotta hit the hardware store for more rivits tomorrow, so if I can get "whatever" at the same time it will save me a trip in this weather mess.

That is 1" aluminum angle all around the opening. The trim is a couple of pool noodles, slit along one side and covered with leather (padding for the dog).

I'd LIKE to lace it in place as per old WW1 aircraft cockpit edging, but with sheet metal that is just going to cut through anything (besides bailing wire ) I can think of. Old planes didnt have that issue because it went around tubes, not through sheet.

Any ideas on what I can use to protect the lacing (preferably work boot laces). I can wire it, but that's sort of a last resort and damned if I know where to find rolls of vinyl coated wire this time of year.

1960's sheet metal doll carriage. 14" stretch, 7" wider at the back, old handle is getting cut down as a curved windshield frame.
