Thanks to all who replied, much appreciated.

I like the brass & solder idea, and since I have a small lathe it
should be easy to turn & drill it.

As far as replacing the cable with a new one, it's not practicle, it's
for an old Yamaha DT250 (1975) where the gas cable splits into two,
one for the carb & one for the oil injector (Autolube). The unit comes
as a whole assy. probably around $100 if available. There is very
little load on both cables.


If you can get the right ends on _some_ sort of cable, you might be able to
crimp together something that would duplicate the original. You may find
the right size crimps at a climbing supply place - they use them for making
chocks or nuts or whatever they call those gizmos they put in rock cracks
and hang from.

You don't want to find out 200 miles later that the oil cable slipped the
fitting...
