HNY all .. the pull switch in my bathroom is in a bad spot. Hanging freely it is just offset from the room corner by the door and so was always caught behind the door as you opened it. Tiring of that i eventually fitted a pulley wheel to the wall so now it passes through that and hangs more flush with the wall. However, the friction on it now means the rope part snaps now and then. My solution here is to run a cycle ****er cable from the cord connector down and that works parfectly and looks good with the pulley/chrome handle. The only thing i need now is a satisfying fixing on the handle end. The cable barrel end fits perfectly in the connector so i want some sort of stopper on the cable to hold it where it passes through the handle. It's just knotted at the moment and therefore does not hang straight.
Idea's for a bathroom pull cord switch.

Why don't you just move it?
Knock the mandrel out of a suitable size pop rivet and crimp it on the end of the cable?

Thanks.. the rivet sounds good and would make for a nice flat stop but i'd be concerned at it working loose over time. I did think of crimping a gear cable tidy in the end but didnt for that reason. I'm wondering about something self tightening, or maybe i could add a bolt/clip under the rivet to add strength. It's not worth moving the fixture as the runs are all cast in the floor/ceiling slabs.
