As Sid correctly points out, all the listed fittings are Swaged fittings. When the cable is swaged inside a sleeve, it is impossible to inspect inside the sleeve for corrosion.
Per plans, I made all the cables in my KR with a thimble and loop with a copper Nicopress sleeve, which is not called out in the CASA A.D. Unless you ordered your cables pre-fabbed from a vendor, it is highly unlikely that any of the KRs have swaged fittings. Swaging takes some rather expensive special equipment (I have several swagers at work). -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > > All of the control cable fittings called out in the Australian AD are roll > crimped terminations.
