Yes you can purchase the replacement cable sets from UST, but their total price with shipping is quite high compared to you buying the cable and ends yourself. 

Also if it's just surface rust there may be no real need to replace the cables.

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.
