As was mentioned you need parts from the old cables here are some pics of the pieces I had to replace or order in conjunction.

This one shows what I had to salvage. I ended up having someone cut it and weld it onto the new cable.

I couldn't find a clevis as long, but I used a shorter one available from Jim Carter and just didn't thread it as far. It reaches just fine.
