I had the same problem on my 1980 C&C 40. Zern Rigging in Pensacola, FL has a machine shop, and they retipped the spreader ends. They are beefier now than stock, and will probably outlive the boat. He went through all the possible speaker tip vendors looking for something that could be readily adapted to the spreader tips, but it was finally clear that cutting the corroded ends off, machining some new parts, and welding them on was by far the most cost effective all around. Especially considering the cost of new rod ends and hardware required to adapt to the fancy new styles.
