Welcome to the Kits Section

There are many kits available to you.  All of them are discounted from the total individual item price.  To determine the best kit for your needs, read through all the information on our site, think about the type of parts you repair (or want to repair) and consider the financial investment you want to make.  You can get your feet wet with a mini-stitching pin kit for a little over $100 US or you can buy the Engine Rebuilder Kit or Industrial Kit, add some tooling, a Stitchin' Center and end up spending over $8000.00 US.  And, of course, there's everything in between.  Take your time and review this section.  Give us a call or send an e-mail with your needs and we will help you pick what will work best for you.  We know there's a lot of products and sizes to choose from; we're happy to help.

(If you arrived at this page and you are confused, why not surf to our Home Page, or read about Metal Stitching and its different components, or hop on over to the main Products page to orient yourself?)

 

Mini-Stitching Pin Kits  
   
Each stitching pin has its own mini kit.  There's enough pins and tooling for you to do quite a few inches of repair.  A great way to try it out or to get a small supply of a pin size you don't use frequently.  There are even mini-kits with a combination of steel and aluminum pins in the same size.

Lock Kits  
    Each lock has its own kit.  Every thing you need to install locks to achieve a great repair are in the kit.  Normally, you wouldn't purchase a lock kit if you don't also have stitching pins.

C Series Kits  
    The C Series pins are truly unique.  Here are some larger kits for each of the C Series Pins.  And if you want the potential of being able to repair almost any cracked casting you ever encounter, you may want the C Series Combination kit:  the incredible gripping, holding, and pulling ability of CASTMASTER™ in three sizes in one kit.

Pin Combination Starter Kits  
    You see a variety of cracked castings and you want a combination of L Series and C Series pins, but you don't have the repair volume for a larger combination kit.  Our Pin Combo Start Kit may be just what you're looking for--and you still have choices.  Steel only?  No problem.  Want to add aluminum?  You bet.  Need speed and consistency?  Just add the tooling option.  Want it all?  You can have it!  And don't forget to look at the Thin Wall Combination Kit, perfect for castings with wall thicknesses of 0.312" or less.

Head Shop Kits 
    The cylinder heads today seem to be getting thinner and more complicated.  If they don't break in the seat area, they will probably break on top.  You are facing more heads with more cracks than you ever thought possible.  And if you can't fix the cracks, well, the whole job may just walk out the door.  Our Head Shop Kit can help you stitch those heads and turn lost jobs into profit.  We have a kit with steel pins, one kit with steel and aluminum pins, and you can add a tooling option to either one.  

Engine Rebuilder Kits  
    This is the section for the production engine rebuilder.  We add more range and flexibility to the Head Shop Kit in addition to tooling to speed you up.

Industrial Kits  
    Here's the kit for the craftsman who repairs everything from 0.100" to 2" thick.  You'll get the power and range of L Series, C Series and assorted Locks.  We take the best of the previous kits and add even more power, strength and range.

Accessory Kits  
    Ever have cracks into a diesel water passage?  Our Diesel Head Water Passage Sleeve Kit is perfect for repairing water passages in GM 6.2 and 6.5 and Navistar 6.9 and 7.3.  And how about repairing down in the valve port of a cylinder head, or just at a steep angle?  We have extension kits to take the hardship out of these repairs.
