[newt]

Australia's CASA has released an airworthiness bulletin recommending lifing stainless steel control cable terminations at 15 years due to chloride stress corrosion cracking.

Worth a read, and a ponder about whether you've built any of these on your aircraft.

SAE-AISI 303 cable terminations.

Does anyone know if we have any of these parts? Rudder cables? Engine controls? Any other?

Yes all our cables, such as rudder are, not sure about engine cables but after 15 years they will be ready for replacement any way.
