Default [66] Vent cable *****..

In the process of refurbing my vent cables as part of the interior resto. The **** on one of my pulls is damaged so I cut it off. I have the new ***** but they are not a interference fit like the originals. I tried some epoxy but it does not appear to be holding the **** to the cable. Does any one have any suggestions to how they have completed this or any other ideas? Thanks.

Dave

Dave, Can you drill a tiny hole through each and use a piece of safety pin in it and then epoxy it. You would have too put each in a vice carefully in order to drill. If not that, try cutting some tiny serrations on the shaft. That would give the epoxy something to grip. Dennis
