Had thought to bend near eyelet, but am thinking that bending it in a
curve to match shape of strut arm end would be best.

Wouldn't bending it at or near the eyelet introduce risk of it
snapping at that point and/or create a sharp angle where cable exits
the hollow?

Or would bending (curving) the entire piece (including hollow portion)
risk malforming the crimp thus possibly making the cable loose?
