Fortunately, I found a couple more Cyclone rear derailleurs, since then, and am ready to start the work on my Nishiki Continental. Now if I just had the correct crank set for the bike, my day would be perfect (until I get a chance to screw it up, at least - it is earlie:-)
Now I'm confused - it sounds like you're describing a Cyclone M-II, which has a socket head nut for a cable anchor. The earlier cyclone has a drilled bolt with an acorn nut as SixtyFiver described.

FWIW, I picked up two of the M-II nuts from a seller on eBay a few years ago. He didn't list them directly but had a lot of NOS Suntour bits listed, so I inquired about the nuts and it paid off!
