Rotary steering cable fittings?

[motogeek1]

Hello all, and, thank you for entertaining my newbie question. I have in my possession a 11'9" steering cable that came out of my 1970 StarCraft Tr150. The cable has a spring loaded ball joint end and was set up mounted to the splash well of the boat. I have since picked up an outboard that will allow the cable to run through the tilt tube. The cable also does not have the threaded nut/spacer that threads onto the tilt tube.

My questions:

1.) Any way to get that fitting off the cable, and, am I right in thinking it was just pressed onto a regular Teleflex style cable?

2.) Does anyone make a universal or replacement spacer/nut for cables?

Thank you all again for your knowledge and replies.

Ayuh,..... Steerin' cables are crimped, so you need a new one, for yer new application,.....

Just to clarify, this is what I'm talking about

Haha, for to look at this cable again. It's made like this. New cable it is!
