Don't the ends need to have mushrooms cut off and resweaged? if so I would let a good rigger experienced with rod rigging do it, and do a dye test at the same time. They usually use longer fittings to make up for the loss in lenght and it is supposed to be done periodically, though I have no idea how often. Or consider replacing it all as it could be time anyway, rod lasts longer than wire but not for ever.
