My brakes are holding me back

See what I did there? :facepalm:

I've come so close to finishing my latest squeeze, but the brakes are not working properly.
Worked out that this was due to the cable ferrules. Using the 7401 Dura Ace levers, a standard 5.7mm diameter ferrule pulls straight through the lever body, where a 6.3mm one doesn't. Unfortunately I only have one.
Would anyone here know where I can get bigger ones please?

Thanks

Mike
 
Re:

It does seem odd, I agree.

But the bigger ones definitely stop where they should. I have some stepped ferrules already, but not big enough in diameter
