Try a fishing tackle shop, ask to look at trace crimps.

Ta, the nearest to a solution so far. 0.8mm internal bore seems the
smallest they go to. Grinding a lead-in chamfer on the leading edge , and
feeding through a tiny funnel of talcum powder may just work.

Now what to do with the other 49 little crimps. They seem to be brass with
a coating of dull varnish to dull them down for fishing purposes.


We use them in the theatre, they are by far the best way of joining or
putting loops in fine fishing line.
