I am looking for aircraft grade SS cables to be used for elevator / rudder controls. Can anyone advice a supplier to purchase from?

You can try Texwise in Strydom Park 011 792 0243. The owner, Alex, is also a pilot.
I have used cables from there and they have a high quality press for the compression sleeves. Its made in such a way that you cannot get it wrong (with a bit of care of course) when crimping the sleeves; the pressure is always the same.
