Clamp on cable stop for CAAD9?

I just now started really building up the CAAD9 frame I got back in Sept/Oct. I got the frame for $150, which is flawless except for the top half of the drive side downtube cable stop is broken off. The guy I got it from had a picture on the CL ad showing how he held the cable in place with 2 zip ties, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how it stayed put.

It seems a tad infeasible to try to solder another one on there, as it would probably just end up making the frame explode, melt into a pool of liquid metal, etc. Short of running full cable housing to the RD, I was wondering if anyone has used one of the various clamp on cable stops I've seen online? Or if anyone happens to know of a way to repair/replace the injured part, I would be forever in your debt. ...Or at least for a few minutes.
