Buc,

Could you weld, solder or epoxy a short section of the original cable sheath to the end of the new sheath?  Another thought would be to build up the new sheath od with solder and cut the thread into that soldered section.

Steve, your new / old cable union idea has possibilities.
The solder build-up and threading idea might work, but
the original threaded spool and nut are a left hand spiral / thread.
I was also thinking about some kind of compression spool / collet
type of affair, but not sure what it would look like yet!

Thanks.

Prepare to be boarded!
