My speedometer cable end has been repaired !  Welding !  Yes, welding !
I took my mig welder and with the wire extended just touched the surfaces
of the rounded off cable end until it was quite enlarged all around.  I
then took a Dremel tool with a small cutting disc and ground the sides
square again.  I repeated this scenario until I got the end back to it's
origional size.  It was rather easy.  Got to have a real steady hand and
just touch the mig wire to the cable end.  A small pair of vice grips held
the cable end just in back of the squared end and the ground of the mig
welder was attached to the vice grips.  You can then rotate the cable end
while striking it with the mig wire to build it up.  It doesn't take much !
Anyways, thanks to all of you who tried to help with your suggestions.

Cheers

Frank
