situation depends on where you tour.
if you live/tour in asialand, steel repair is not going to be a problem. super thin stainless steel tubing is used for zillions of purposes, and is used as bars/rails/barriers in hundreds of thousands of windows in any city or town.
not a problem to find a shop with 0.06mm tubing in stock and workers with the necessary skills.
