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...


Thanks for the tip.
I'll see what I can find..

Cheers.
