Doug,
I'm thankful Wayne is both willing and able to any many questions on the
list. I believe many folks chip in with answers when they have some
insight--and I certainly appreciate each and everyone's contribution.
I believe the part you are referring to is an AN111-4 (in the case of the
Moose) cable bushing as called for on page 35 of Chapter 12, section 95. If
this is indeed the part you are referring to cable bushings, to my knowledge
at least, are intended to rotate on the bolt. The thimble should be
squeezed tightly enough by the cable/nicopress assembly such that the cable
bushing does not rotate. If the cable bushing is rotating, one likely does
not have a tight enough/proper nicopress assembly.
AC 43.13, figure 7-14 shows a proper thimble/nicopress configuration.
Aircraft Spruce, if you search on AN111, says "Used in the same manner as
AN100 cable thimble." I've seen references (e.g. Wicks Aircraft Catalog,
page 49) where one uses a cable bushing to "...help eliminate thimble
elongation under load, thus maintaining correct cable length and tension."
Hope the above information is what you're looking for. I'd be happy to look
up further references pointing to the appropriate use of cable bushings in
this type installation.

Wayne, on the elevator control cables (moose) murphy used a machined
grooved steel insert inside the thimble for the elevator. Insert rotates
in the thimble .I would use this if it wasn't hid. this is a perfect
setup for rust corrosion and seizure and rotation on the bolt .I know
its
there but if someone acquires the aircraft they don't. What did you
change
