Murray's wants $76 and Salty Dog wants $49. I have some old ones that I can pull the shackles off of so I priced out all the other parts and cable from Salty Dog and I can get all the components for about $15 The plan is to take it down to West Marine or see if a friend will bring his swagging equipment to our sailing trip in couple weeks and put it together. I would be using the old one to measure the points to swag in the stops on the new wire.
I email Salty Dog and they said:
"One thing you have missed is the single shank balls required to make the halyard stops, These require a specialty roller swage machine and experience."
I have no idea what these are. can anyone enlighten me. All the ones I have look like they just have a copper compression stop swaged in on the cable including the one in the picture from Murrays.

Also Murrays says new halyard are just 3/16 rope. Were there some P16's that went to the hook and Ring like the P18. If So do you think I might just be better off to do that?
Anyone think you could just put a stopper knot in some 3/16 and hook that where the cable stop would go? Or would the knot weaken the rope to much or just plain wear out to fast?
