I may have a solution for you, but there's not a lot of information available about the Fulton 542 winch since it's been discontinued for some time. I was able to find out that your winch can accept 1/4" diameter cable, up to 70' long. A good replacement for that would be to use the Hand Winch Cable with Safety Hook 1/4" Diameter x 50' Long - 3,500 lbs # DL24104, which is the longest cable we have available.
When it comes to the Fulton Winch Wire Rope Keeper # F501001, I've attached a diagram that shows the dimensions of that, so you'll want to compare the measurements of that to your existing winch to determine whether or not it will work; the bolt holes are .56" center on center, which will be the most important measurement to take note of.
