For the crimps I do not remember exactly what size of those holes is the right one for the crimps but I do remember when I was looking for the crimps I searched the specific size because I found most crimps did not have the size needed.

It is funny I came across this thread. I have a couple of the cable kits that I purchased a year ago. I also bought a crimper/swager at the same time. The swager I bought was the "often bought together " recommendation, however I always thought it wasn't the correct one.

This led me to start digging deeper. Here is what I have found:

The cable size for the slides is 5/32". I measured mine with calipers AND the BAL video says that is the size.
The oval sleeve in the kits seem loose to me. The sleeve in the BAL video appears to fit tighter around the cable, although it is hard to without a close-up shot.
The oval sleeve that Amazon lists as an "often purchased together " with the cable kit is the SL1-2 which is for 1/16" cable. That is wrong.
Due to possible terminology conflicts (not knowing how oval sleeves are "sized"), emailed Loos and the confirmed my thoughts. SL1-5 is the correct oval sleeve for 5/32" cable.
I ordered a variety of oval sleeves and will compare them with the one that came in the repair kit and the cable. (I'm curious how the cable "fit" is in the sleeve.)
Once I determine the EXACT oval sleeve, I will buy the correct Loos swage.

Thanks for the info!
