Default Cable to use for pull-pull setup??

hi

hope this is the right forum in which to ask this question:

What sort of cable can i use to fabricate my own pull-pull setup?

Background: i have an excelleron 90 which came with its own cable and fittings. One of the cables broke... i have some fishing trace wire which i used to make a bracing on the tail feathers of another plane a while ago. The cable is rated at 18lbs and is plastic coated. In fact, when compared with the stuff that came with the original kit, it looks almost identical!

I plan to use some small diameter brass tubing as the crimping material.

Does this all sound sufficient?
thanks
MIke
