The cable ends broke from 2 out of the 3 cables that rest in the adjuster.
I wonder the best way to create a crimp on, that would fit the adjuster so I can use it as an adjustable mirror again!

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks in advance for the help

Not aware of any repair because they all make the cable shorter. My suggestion would be to shorten all three cables and solder/braise new ferrels on the ends.
 
We can buy swage ferrules. https://www.grainger.com/product/16...8ws7jwRGISJRYndY64YaAsnQEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
The challenge will be shorting the cables and sheathes equally and get them back in correct positions. The sheathes were just barely color coded at the end, red, green, yellow? I forget. i forget what size the cable is too.
The cast pot metal adjuster is very fragile where the cables are crimped in also.
