It's important to me to have the right parts for the job. I just spent around $25 for 10 of those ferrules so that I can complete my next two builds.

was planning on new cable housing as well.. the old looks more or less ok..but the new housing ...looks new.. I was considering using the old ferrules but wasn't sure if they' d fit the new cable housing. So, the actual cables (new) will still work, the question is do I retain the old housing and ferrules, or if I reuse the old ferrules will they work with new housing? Because the new ferrules wont fit/seat properly, correct?

I guess the big auction site is the place for ferrules?
