The examiner (Alistair )at Gosforth will not entertain any kind of joint in the trans tunnel.....the "shortening" needs to be at one end of the cable ie inside the drum.....perhaps a long nut, put cable through, double back the end about 8-10 mm over the nut then wrap with several turns of uncoated copper wire, then a liberal amount of flux followed by solder so it all fuses together, even electrical solder will be good for this
