Castle nut & pin for mine Tim. You need to "capture" the cable, not "clamp"
the cable/thimble.

Subject: [rebel-builders] Moose control stick base

I'm setting up the control column and the the instructions (page 2, Chapter
12) show AN365 fiber nuts to connect the aileron cables to the control stick
base and push-pull tube. Is it acceptable to use a fiber nut, or should a
drilled bolt and castle nut be substituted? I have two concerns: 1) nut
tightened to recommended torque might be too much for the (unbraced) control
stick base, 2) I believe that a fibre nut is only to be used with a rod end
bearing if the bearing is clamped so that no torgue can be transfered to the
nut.

What did you flying Moose do?

Thanks, Ted. I'll go with the castle nut.
