The brass of the fitting it too thick for it to be crimped and it is

the sheath needs to be under tension. Given the Bowden cable forms an
arch from the waste to the knob, how do I put it under tension? Pushing
the ends of the sheath just alters the curve of the arc. I suspect I am
missing something - sorry


Its only under tension when you turn the knob to pop the plug up. Its not
pre-tensioned. The sheath just has to be securely anchored at each end.

Which is why typically replacement mechs incorporate both ends (with no
need to cobble bits together).
