So the stainless wire securing the pins has deteriorated over the past 30 years to the point where it has actually broken on one of them. 30 years seems like a good long service life, I'm not complaining, but is the stainless wire what is now being used to attach the pins to the shroud extenders on new cats?

I just took some plastic covered stainless steel fishing line and some wire crimps and made new ones.

I didn't know they made such a thing. Thanks

I think I picked up a crimper at Walmart or something like that in the fishing section and made them.

I just used regular monofilament. about 80lb leader material. The crimps are the same as the ones used to make leaders for gamefish rigs.
