depending on how confident you are feeling, you could buy a project box, make a couple fittings for it and spirce the two ends together inside the box. Just a thought. It wouldn't take more than a small weld bead to hold it together. Protected inside a plastic project box and it wouldn't be much of a worrie.

Do you have NAPA stores up there?
They have a catalog of generic cables in various lengths with a selection of crimp-on tips.
