Composite Terminations
I have had several fiber backstays made up over the last year -- of PBO and more common aramid fibers. These were terminated with stalok-like cone/wedge compression fittings of anodized aluminum.
As Brion mentioned, these were made up "at the factory". My assumption is that this process is tweezy enough that they want to keep it under controlled conditions.
You could contact Applied Fibers in Havana, FL and discuss it with them...
