Fitting Hex Nipples To Cables - dapleb - 24-07-2020
Related to pug thread. Does anyone know how the little hex ends are fitted? Looks like they are crushed on or summat with special tool?
I can't seem to find them on eBay. There are lots of threaded and grub screw types but the not the right hex shape ones.

these guys are really good like that and can offer advice.
They did a one off cable conversion for me and very reasonable

Ta no hex listed. Might try and salvage old juans by drilling and try solder attach.

I used to hex crimp heavy cleats on wire cable with a hydraulic tool to make eye splices, you need something much smaller.
