DIY control cables

I had a ripped off front PTO control cable, a local dealer had another one made for me but he screwed it up (too long and the input end is just like the output with that extension sleeve or whatever). So now I'm scouting for DIY cable parts sources to maybe make my own. The two ends of the old one are shown in the images, the output end (right) is the one with the elbow, the input end was ripped off (tensile failure) it was 'placed' on the cable end for the picture. Length is to be confirmed but what I want to make is pretty close to what's in the image, bulkhead eyeballs not required, and 5/16" or 3/8" is just as good as M8.
