The cable has a small steel cylindrical stop swaged onto it which fits into a plastic receptacle on the regulator. Probably the plastic part is missing in your case, but in the unlikely event the cable end is missing here's a good fix. I recently re-cabled one of my windows and found some 1/16" model airplane wheel collars lying around which are a perfect replacement. They slide onto the 1/16" cable and snug down with a set screw (use loctite). I'll put up a not-so-great picture with the original cable end on the right, and the wheel collar version on the left. http://home.dencity.com/birdworks/cablestopsm.jpg Angus ================================ Angus Gordon '89 Carat NW Ohio '86 Syncro
