I need to shorten this cable and duplicate the threaded end, 3/8" UNF. Making the new end is easy, I'm not too sure whether swaging it onto the cable with only a 10 tonne press is going to work. For swaging I was thinking of squishing the fitting between a pair of mini v blocks.

I guess I can cheat and use loctite as well.

Any thoughts?
