Have a friend looking at a used SZD 48-3 for sale with corroded pins,
he's wondering if replacement is feasible. Would pins from a totalled
ship be a possibility?

The right side pin has some pitting but I feel not enough to worry about. The left pin, I was able to peel a significant chunk of rust off of it with my fingernail. All this was due to a couple of tennis balls left on the pins to "protect" them. They held water in contact with the pins. The rest of the ship is in great shape, it would be a shame to throw it away on account of the spar pins. I hope they are replaceable without having to cut into the spars.
