we were able to dremel down the center between the two cable segments but
removing the halfs apparently caused the damage.

Hope someone has some advise as the Bingelis books don't address repairs...

Having to reject the last nicropress
on the rudder, two strands were cut when the nircopress was cut off with
a
drmel tool.

The question is whether we can reinstall a nicropress in the original
position and then add one an 1/8" further?? or,

Make splice two lengths of control cable with double nicropresses?? or,


Is there any reason why a turnbuckle couldn't be used ouitside the
fuselage
at the rudder??

Thanks



A big pair of end nippers is a very useful tool when you need to remove
nicopress sleeves. Too late now, of course.

there are swaged ends available that would correct your problem.
they require a swaging machine to fit them though.
they are about 3 inches long
look for ms20667 fork end, or ms20668 eye end, or ms21259 stud end.
or even an ms21260 turnbuckle end.
they are in the aircraft spruce cattledog.
