Any way to crimp a new end onto a park brake cable?

[davepl]

I've run into this a few times now, particularly doing rear disc conversions, where I need to crimp the "end" on a park brake cable.

I've got a swaging tool but the aluminum ferrules have no chance of standing up to that kind of tension.

Is there an end or a process you can use to put the "stopper" on the end of a steel cable?
