As far as crimping is concerned you might want to get in touch with someone
who builds sailboat masts. I can recall using a tool some years ago that
did a fine job of crimping ends on the stainless wire we used. If I am not
mistaken the tool was WWII surplus for aircraft rigging.
Even if they don't have that nice a tool they have to have something that is
effective and frequently used. The loads a mast carries are much higher
than you might think.
