Straddle Cables

Working on my brothers 85 Peugeot, he has Weinmann 610 on front and 750 on the rear. The straddle cables are pretty shot and measure roughly 150mm, so I would guesstimate them at about 160mm if I were able to stretch it out flat.

Searching online, all I can find are 110mm available on Amazon. VO Orange is out of stock, but I guess theirs are 110mm as well. Just wondering if those would work. I want to say yes, but then again I've never really worked with this kind of brake before.

Just want to know is there a hack or something to make them so I can use the proper length cable? They're the double ended lead cylinder type...
