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..

Yachting supply places sell a lot of cable gear.
