What I did on the A-V8... Cut a cable and use Nicopress to make it longer or, in my case, shorter... Kinda cobby, but I like that it works...
There are also real short Nicopress fittings, put them at the end of the cable, and thusly out of sight- but they aren't round like the original cable ends, and if one slips off, one must pull the drum to retrive the loose fitting.
