Not sure what you mean there; for him the stainless halyard IS the stock one. He bought a rope halyard in error. Maybe my terminology is wrong.
As far as durability goes, we cover on a pretty regular basis how old standing rigging shouldn't be trusted. I don't see old running rigging as being much different.

It should be a simple fix to replace the stainless halyard with a stock one, no need to "manufacture it". The rope halyards will come apart where they meet the cable. I've seen 2 that way on used boats I've purchased. The rope halyard and the cable halyard cost about the same. There's no benefit to putting a rope halyard on a solid aluminum mast. I'm replacing one of the comptip masts with the old standby as you can't trust an old rope halyard.
