You really need to disassemble the rigging and measure the fittings to ensure you get the correct size T-Ball fittings and that they fit into the backing plates. On most boats I re-rig I don’t order parts until I have disassembled the rigging and know exactly what I need. If you are going to do it yourself I’d recommend that you use either Sta-Lok or Hayn Hi-Mod fittings.
