Hi Remi
Glad to hear that connector didn't let go all together.
Some ideas:

**I am using stainless connectors that could pretty much be used as a direct
replacement
of the spring clips. I have a pic of McMasters page in cat. with part
number. Item is made in France, very nice quality.
**If you need to make another cable, take a look at my 3 Nico, 2 cable
alternative
to 1 cable. If you go this route first nico the third nico, then hang a 5
gallon can or kerosene or similar weight to load cable when doing nico 2 and 3.
**I made some cone washers to help stop point loading, they work great
**I ripped off Grahams aluminium tailwheel stop
**I incorporated turnbuckles on tailwheel drive, one side with an eye and the
other
with a clevis
**** This is a little off topic, but not much!
I mentioned this before, if you have turnbuckles to adjust rudder cables and
have
not addressed their affinity to tangle if you release pressure from return
springs, I believe this is an accident waiting to happen.
Resolution is simple, I used two pieces of heat shrink.
If anyone has turnbuckles for rudder cables I urge you to release tension by
lifting
rudder pedal just a little while observing turnbuckles. When they tangle
it limits the side that tangles rudder travel because the other rudder pedal
acts as a stop when going aft.
I would not want this to happen on a trigear, but on a tailwheel plane all I can
say is "yikes".
