As an update I found this site explaining how it is done
http://www.dansmc.com/cables.htmAnd this site with the parts necessary
http://www.flandersco.com/FlanCableSearch.htmlI think I can get everything I need from Flanders. Not terribly expensive either. Any suggestions on which ends to use or which diameter cable? Post some FlandersCO part numbers and we can have a little discussion about what would work best.
