Why  not just bend the ends toward each other:

TT's:

I read the last NCJ, where K3LR 160m Dipole as sloper appears, i will like
to try something like this here, but i have only 140 ft  of tower, is
possible to reduce the full size of the 160m dipole to a 66-70%  using only
the RG-58 COAX  as antena not like feed,  in other words use the Vel Factor
from the cable that is around the 66-70 to reduce the phisical length and
make posible that configuration ?

the antenna is like this   I>     where   I tower   > dipole 

i try to find something abouth this but nothin show up , jus the moxon
antenna using coax to reduce size, looks that work,   really work ?  and i
can use legal power ?

i will like to hear if someone before try  and the result, before buy the
coax spool  and just loose my time.
