Just for information,
Begin December last year I ordered a Lock-N-Stitch starting kit.
At that time there was a 10 weeks delay to get the parts.
On the 29th of February 2024, my birthday, the parts arrived at the Fedex parcel here in Belgium.
The custom office ask to proof that this was no RUSIAN steel.
A week later all the papers and paperwork was send from Lock-N-Stitch to the custom office.
This morning 9th of August 2024, six months later, The "RUSIAN" steel made in the USA, finely arrived and I can start to learn using it.

Andre:
You will also need a "Magnaflux/crack detection" to identify the cracks .
Also you will need to pressure test it after the repair is complete to ensure there are no leaks.

Thanks for the advice.
I use this to find the cracks.

Andre- a magnetic crack detection setup is much faster and reliable. You can use a large permanent magnet or electromagnet with the powder. There must be the same available over there. Much better than dye penetrant.
