Phil,
Locally, we have a ship rigging company that is able to make and terminate steel cables for towers. Perhaps you have one that isn't too far from you.

I have noticed some surface rust starting on the tilt over cable on my HDX-555. I have purchased replacement cable but am having a heck of a time finding someone who can properly terminate it for me. Any suggestions from any one on where to start looking? I hit up the local small airfield but they don't have anything for the 1/4" cable. I tried a shop that makes hydraulic hoses thinking they had presses, they might also have the dies for swagging but they don't either.

Has anyone ever gotten winch cable replacements from UST directly?

Thanks
