How does Bowden cable work

Hi all
I have taken some photos and tried to upload them to a public album (hopefully not done this for ages). They show the fittings and particularly the brass fitting I need to connect the sheath to. Hopefully this works

A picture speaks 1000 words. ;-)
I have tried some searching but can only find examples of soldering the fitting to the wire rather than the sheath to the fitting. They seemed to use "silver solder" which I assume is not the same as plumbing solder
If that fitting is plastic and that brass socket doesn't release from
the fitting I wouldn't want to solder it in place.
As I believe has been mentioned, it might be best (therefore) to
'glue' the Bowden outer to the socket using a 'Liquid Metal' epoxy.
The bond will be in shear and as long as it's all nice and clean and
dry when done, shouldn't ever come out again. ;-)
Cheers, T i m
