whats the name of this that Im trying to describe
you take a wire cable....loop it back on itself ...to errrr... create a loop. Hold them together.
Then a metal clip is put round it and crimped tight, so your left with a loop at the end of the wire thats strong and wont come loose.
Without knowing what these pieces of metal are called, searching for crimp, clip and other names brings back all sorts!
thanks

Wire loop crimp seems to bring back some relevant Google results, including this;

Best ranges usually tend to come from chandlers.

What are you trying to make?
I used the loop a piece of wire trick when making a teather for my fuel cap. I used the bottom part of a electrical terminal, the part you crimp round
a cable when making the end if a wire. I just cut of the "spade part", removed the plastic outer and had a ready made crimp to create a
hoop that once crimped was secure.

Depending on the size of the wire rope and its use, I have found the ally ferrules very useful, You can make a jig to squeeze them closed and it will
give good strength. The one labelled as open spelter is a different kettle of fish and is 100% the strength of the rope itself but it involves a lot
of work and the need to pour hot white metal into the fitting... Really only worth while over 3/4" ropes.....

I'll bet it's for the boot lid, to stop it opening too far as that was one of his IVA fail points.
If it's any use, for my bonnet stays I made the wire loop, with a long return (6 inches or so) and used heat shrink over it to hold it together.
Wasn't sure if it'd be strong enough but it turns out that it is, more than. Your lid might be heavier of course, but if you're
after a quick -n- easy just for the test, it might do.
I managed not to get any decent pics, here's one for the idea:
