CASA has an NPRM out for an AD which will mandate replacement of any control cable end fitting that's been in service for longer than 15 years if it's made out of SAE-AISI 303 Se stainless, or if its metallurgy is unknown.
So -- what are the Vans rudder circuit cable ends made out of?

Pay particular attention to the cross section microscope images, which show cracks radiating from the inside-out, which provide no visual sign until they fail in service.
Is this going to affect us?
