Can Someone Swage 5/16" Wire in North NJ?

[zstine]

I have a Gibb swage fitting and the 5/16 wire to go in it, but I don't have a swaging machine. I'd rather not ship it out for a singe operation. I'm regularly in Atlantic Highlands area up to Morristown, NJ and out to Allentown, PA. I appreciate any help getting this done.
thanks

Most any crane and rigging shop should have the necessary dies to swage that fitting. Don't know what they would charge, but it should not be much. I had the local crane and rigging company where I am located build me a complete new set of rigging for my boat. I took the old rigging in to them, and told them to make me a duplicate set. Price was reasonable, and even though they had to order in the parts, only took a couple of weeks to get them back.

You might consider a mechanical end fitting if you're a DIY type, & if such a fitting wouldn't cause any issues due to clearances.
