Jim: What you are looking for is called rotary swaging. Aircraft Spruce sells the tool, a "Kearney Swager" for $6,397.00, and then you still need to load test the cable after making it. Aircraft Spruce will also make up "custom-made cable assemblies". An eye, fork or stud at one end and bare wire for you to add a loop w/thimble & Nico-press sleeve on the other end OR another eye, fork or stud OR a loop w/thimble & Nico-press sleeve. Cost will run from @$20.00 to $50.00, depending on the size & length of cable and the type of fitting(s).
