You can buy just about any material in shim stock. everything from inconel to brass, to plain steel.
If i had a fitting to experiment i would try it but all my fittings are used up and on the car. Wish i wouldve thought of that waaay back. Cussed so many blue streaks and wasted so much time just limping along. Seems like it took an average of 20min just doing one fitting LOL!
The trick would be to find the best thickness/material combo that would allow the fitting to still slide over but yet be stiff enough to keep the frayed end compressed. If i ever get to experiment i will definatly post the results.
