I'm looking for someone to just make it for me.

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.

Try a sailboat shop that does rigging. Also look in EAA mag. for
someone that does fling wires and such for By-planes.
