Crimping properly without crimpers might be an issue though. I'd use at least two.
I'd try doubling them up. up one side down the other both directions. each end would be a "J" on both tubes of the crimp. No reason it shouldn't work in a uncased area of the cable if it can't hang up on something on the frame.
