Shorten Rotary Cable???

I'm frustrated. The little whaler I've been working on received a brand new steering system (Teleflex SS173) and all is well, except. . . The damn cable is too long. It was the shortest length we could get from Fisheries Supply and it's still about 6" too long (that's after maximum distance routing too - preferably, it would be another 6" shorter). <br /><br />Is there any way of shortening these things (safely) without buying another cable? Looks like whatever work would have to be done on the end that attaches to the helm. <br /><br />Also, does anybody happen to know the thread size of the locking nut on the tube end?<br /><br />Thanks
