installing new rod rigging

[Brion Toss]

Hi again,
Nice pictures. The resolution allows for further magnification without blurring. If you do that, you'll see short transverse cracks. Bad. That, plus the amount of pitting leads me to say that these should indeed be replaced.
Note that I've seen worse that haven't failed yet -- big transverse cracks, at the turn of the head -- but this looks more like the effects of prolonged corrosion, a bit too crumbly.
Joe, what say you?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
