I just rebuilt Honey's entire Edson steering system. The entire  parts kit 
including next day FedEx costs USD 1,122.00. The new chain &  cable kit with 
the wires properly swaged and shrinkwrapped including all of  the quadrant 
clamps was USD 268.00. According to Edson's support tech  the safe average 
life span of the chain and cable is 10 years. Mine was 20 years  old and 
looked great right up until we bent the cable and watch little pieces of  wire 
begin to pop up. The chain was stretched as well...The only 2 pieces  that we 
did not replace was the wheel shaft and wheel nut...
 
Edson's service was excellent, they even sent me a copy of the original  
steering plan for my original builder's file. If you call them, ask for Adam  
Cove..

Just make sure the chain is right for the sprocket.  Aside  from that I 
can't think of a good reason to change from what you have.   Though, I don't 
recall being shocked by the Edson price for a chain and  wire.  I've 
definitely come to a point in life where I start to  appreciate the value of my 
time 
fiddling and piecing things together just to  save a few bucks.

Another  discovery I want to check with listers.

When I removed the EDSON 335  pedestal, there was a swaged wire fitted to 
the quadrant and attached to the  chain.  When I sent this to EDSON, they 
said that is not an EDSON  setup, and that all EDSON set ups use SS wire, 
thimbles and nicropress  sleees.

Is that what other listers have?
Why pay EDSON their big  fee when you can get those parts easily at a good 
hardware store, or  chandlery?
