Shimano cable ferrules

I recently bought a Shimano brake kit and it came with highly polished steel ferrules 12mm in length (on the left in the picture). I was looking to use these for the gears too, but there's not enough of them in the pack.

I tried to find some more on the internet and thought I had found them on Ebay, but as you can see from the picture, they are 2mm too short and look more like aluminium than steel, making a poor match when they are fitted.

Does anyone know where I can get these 12mm steel ferrules?

Brake and gear cable ferrules are different diameters as the outer cables are different to accommodate the inner cables which are thicker for brakes. You'll need to get gear cable specific ones as it's not just the length you need to worry about.
