Hey guys. Thanks for the responses
I might have found someone in Europe willing to repack it. Seems the rules here differ a little to the rules in the US but in the end if the packer is unwilling I am a little out of luck If I can't sort it I am willing to donate to a junior for the cost of postage |

My former rigger used the argument that a little bit of fuzz on the
edges of the crotch straps made my previous entire rig "unairworthy". The fuzz was minimal and, to me, did not constitute a hazard. He did not offer to replace the offending straps. Still, I'm happier with my ram air chute and new rigger now.

If the manufacturer is not able to provide approved documentation that validates a 20 year life limit, as per the FAA's TSO (to which they agreed as part of the certification process), a rigger who refuses to repack an otherwise serviceable parachute could be accused of withholding required maintenance on a certified piece of aviation equipment.
