Where to have hexes re-slung?

Howdy folks, I'm in the process of building my rack, and recently got a free set of early 2000's Wild Country hexes from a friend. For at least 4 years, they've been hanging at a front desk/reception area, and before that they were part of someone's rack. The dyneema slings show moderate to heavy wear, and given their age and price, I figured I'd put some money into replacing them.

My question is though- is there anywhere in the U.S. that'll re-sling them with sewn dyneema, or should I just get some 5.9 mm powercord and do it myself?

Cut the old sling off, take the hex and throw it into the recycle bin. Best solution ever. 

But then my rack would be reduced to a handful of rigid-stem friends, tricams, oval steel biners, and my swami...

just use cord and do a double fisherman's knot.

Mountain Tools will sew new webbing in your hexes

I reslung a bunch of Chouinard era hexes with 7mm nylon cord. I suspect getting hexes reslung with dynema is going to cost at least $7-$10 per hex, which is more than they're worth. 

It's #cool to hate on hexes.  I like to tell those people to fuck off.

People have already said it may be costly to re-sling them, but they are less bulky on the harness or gear sling. Otherwise re-slinging them yourself using 7mm nylon in the 14kn rated range or smaller diameter tech cord that is stronger will probably be lower cost options. More so the nylon cord than tech cord depending what you find for prices.

As someone who has rapped off hexes and slung chicked heads from following on an FA, that is such a waste of a hex.

Other than using Mountain Tools re-sling service, I would just use supple perlon cord and do it myself.

Never heard that from a hex lover. Pretty much the only thing I can hear over the jangling is "take"

I loled.

How about this one:

You can get them reslung in 1983.

I wasn't going to actually bite on all the dumb comments but; I'm keeping them because I'd rather spend my money on actually going climbing than on buying more climbing gear. Plus I'd rather bail off a free hex or two than a couple nuts when faced with some suspect tat and pins or a verglassed crack

Dude. I'm kidding. I have a set of hexes too for the same reasons.

You can probably get them re-slung with dyneema slings at Ragged Mountain in North Conway NH, I don't know if Titan or nylon cord will fit the WC hexes.

Savage, but true.

In the USA I only know of Caccia which was mentioned already, and Mountain Tools.

I'll take more hex talk however I can get it.

Triple fisherman’s with 5mm blue water dyneema rated for 13kn. Bought it at REI.
