Not a shop, a do-it-yourself kit:

Forrest Gardner in Ringgold,Georgia does excellent work.
He is reasonably priced and will use the USPS to ship and receive.

I thought this was going to be about Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels.

Hi ho! I used to do those repairs until my equipment was stolen. Fish may still do such work. A parrot beak swager is cheap....

I've fixed 'em with perlon, and melted and flattened the ends coming out of the lobes - voila!

Also done same with 100-lb test fishing line, you have to soften it a little with heat to make the tight trigger turn.

Just sayin' it works well for the dirtbag climber

Off topic a little, but

The trigger wires on BD C3's aren't repairable which wasn't something I realized when I purchased them!

You can send them back to BD for warranty review but if they think it was caused by normal usage them your out of luck.
