He dressed each one up with a sealant.

The cracks may be a result, for sure the rust is. water may be getting in under the part and not have a way to drain. when you refit it, may be a good idea to not calk all the way around and leave a low spot escape for trapped moisture. cracks may be caused by body movement or uneven expansion I think the part covers metal on one end and fiberglass front-cap on the other?

I believe I have located some and should have them by the end of the month.

I had just about decided that if I could not find any replacements, I would mount two of those pink flamingos in the fairing spaces. You know those kind that have the wings that twirl in the wind.
