If you have yatching stockists nearby they may have/know someone who can
crimp ends of the cables for such a purpose.

Fairly good result, I failed on a dozen things first time, so as far
as I am concerned you've done very well ! You'll be there soon.
Might be helpful- I was also picked up on the stamped in number not
being on the offside of the vehicle .... despite there being a VIN
plate there and it clearly on the nearside.
Also - I think the cable for the handbrake is a bit of an issue, I was
very careful soldering mine on following the manual, and it too broke
- albeit in a garage doing a pre IVA check.
My solution was a double up of both a re-solder and a physical clamp
(using a cut down bit of electrical chocolate block) - this has held
so far. I don't know if there is a 'proper' tool for making the end
off, but this would be helpful.

...and it failed, but only just!!
Fail points:
1. No VIN Plate indentifying chassis number and manufacturer (my own
fault as DVLA had advised one was not needed. so I did not bother, but
VOSA want one!)
2. Handbrake failed when tester pulled tight on test./ cable broke at
lug on drum brake.
and that is all: mixed feelings about being so close, but also very
glad as other items were a worry: emissions, noise (98dB on 99dB
limit!) brake balance, but all passed.
Got some other worries about how stiff the suspension is on near side
rear, but this can be resolved once car compelte with IVA and DVLA.
Getting there at last.
Thanks again for all the advice and comments on previous posts.
