Suggestions?

The rotary swage equipment is very expensive and wouldn't expect to
find it outside of a large repair station. Unless it is a friend I
would tell them its for an aircraft as that will scare just scare off
just about everyone.
Another suggestion is to silver solder the end on the cable. As long
as there is no in use flex in the section near the fitting it works
well. I have used that method for a long time with zero failures.

Paul,
If there are any 'Old School' motorcycle repair businesses in your
area, try them. For many years, I used to make all my own cables
using parts from: http://www.flandersco.com/FlanCableSearch.html
Sometime in the last couple decades, I loaned my solder pot to
someone, and it never came back, and I subsequently got rid of most of
my bits and pieces.
