Ernest,
I'm not a CH701 fellow so I don't know for sure about your installation. But from my experience with my Europa, I think that what you see on the end of the cable is the equivalent of the Nicopress Stop Sleeve. See: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/nicopress.php at the bottom of the page.
It's not really a "grab point" as much as a device to prevent the cable from completely pulling loose should the tightening screw of the cable holder on the carb become loose. If the cable holder should become loose, this stop sleeve allows you to retain enough control of the engine to get safely on the ground.
You Rotax and CH701 folks chime in if I have this wrong!

Hello,
I have purchased some length of throttle cable from Aircraft Spruce. I need to replace the cables between my throttle "rocker arm" and each carb on my 912 UL (mounted on CH 701). As the throttle application is "pull only", there is a single "grab point" on each of the old cables where the rocker catches when pulling the throttle back. This grab point looks like a little billet of lead. How can I add such to the new cable? I have looked through Aircraft spruce and have found no item that seems to be intended for this. What have others done.
Thanks for your help.

As the throttle application is "pull only",
here is a single "grab point" on each of the old cables where the rocker
catches when pulling the throttle back. This grab point looks like a little
billet of lead......
Earnest,
Here is what they look like on my 701 scroll down to the 9th and 10th pic.

I'm sure you can use the stop sleeves swaged on that Bob mentions. Maybe
2 on the end for extra security. The cables Zenith provided can be found in a bike shop.
