DIY Straddle Cable Bits?

My 1985 Miyata TerraRunner with Dia Compe cantilever brakes needs new straddle cables. Cannot find a source which can satisfy both length and style of barrel ends. Jagwire has the right type, but not the lengths I need.

Ideally, I'd like to make mine own straddle cables. That way I can't adjust yoke height. But I cannot locate hardware bits. Something like this below or if someone has a better idea or solution, please share!

Cable stops for DIY straddle cables

I'm assuming that I don't necessarily need the flared thumb grip on one end because it's just a quick-release convenience, serving no mechanical brake function.

Thanks!
