The cable is easily cut and crimped with a heavy duty pair of "linemans pliers" such as the Klien tools model. If you need this I'd be happy to sell you the parts in small quantities for small cost.
Finally got a picture of the pin and broken lanyard.



Thanks Charlie but I think I might go with the assembly Dave refers to from Amazon or purchase a direct replacement and use a screw or pin that allows the crimped fitting to swing instead of fixing it rigid.

Dave, good luck with your upcoming adventure. How long you been dreaming this?
