There are two basic types of "swaged" fittings. One is typically done athome and is called a "nicopress" sleeve, this it he most common and iscovered in Bingiles' books extensively. They're easy to do and strong, butthey look a bit clunky compared to the other type.The other type is a true swaged fitting and utilizes a stainless fittingthat is swaged on by an expensive tool that usually only owned by companiessuch as marine, aircraft or some EAA chapters. This type is strong and veryprofessional. If you want to go this route, you can have Aircraft spruceswage the fittings you purchase onto your cables for not much money, or finda marine shop who can do it like Greg did.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 07:54:11 -0500 (GMT-05:00)
