By all means replace it all.

My suggestion is to figure out how much wire you need and
buy the wire and some good wire cutters.

Next figure out how many Sta-Lok mechanical terminals you
need and buy those along with a tube of Lock-tite and some
black silicone rubber.

Remove one stay or shroud at a time and duplicate the
length using the turnbuckle in the 2/3 opened position.

If you want it done right, you must do it yourself.
