Have a look on the parts on the website below (in cables/accesories)

There only made of brass so cant see that they will be strong enough. As soon as you try to nip them up the screw will shear off. May work if soldered but being brass it will wear quicker where it rubs against the steel lever.

Next time you see an aa or rac patrol ask them as they have a box full of cable ends/forks that have clevis ends and grub screws. Thats what i did!

thanks for the ideas guys. going to get a sierra cable, but will need new ends on it for my rover lever i think

The other thing is to go to a boat chandlers, they usually have a selection of cable ends that they can attach onto cables....
