then you may need to drive to a bigger town.. i have about 50 brake stirrups and a hundred or so "small bolts with holes" in my small parts mini-drawers...
and if there's a "Used Bike Guy or Girl" in your town, hit them up!

also, unless the "nut/bolt with hole" gets WAY over-tightened, the cable won't be cut by it... but any repetitive bending of the cable NEAR the pinch bolt will "cut the cable" eventually.
