Does anyone know where to get some of these?

I am not sure what it is called, but I need one of the cable ends like you can see in my pic. I need one for my Bugye, and four for my TR6 seat cables. Anyone know of a source? Thanks,
Kevin

Ferrules?

Compression fittings for attaching tubing (piping) commonly have ferrules in them.
A swaged termination type for wire rope
The cap at the end of a cane or umbrella.
The portion of a cue in pool, billiards and snooker that tops the shaft and to which the tip is bonded; historically made of ivory, now typically made of fiberglass, phenolic resin or brass
The male and female joints that join one section of a two-piece fishing rod

The metal sleeve that connects a hypodermic needle to a plastic luer taper (which then connects to a syringe or intravenous therapy tubing.)
 
Those are a semi-common bicycle ferrule, used in the 80's-90's on cable stops. I just put one on my car for the throttle cable. If you can't find them at your local shop, message me and I will throw some in an envelope for ya.
 
Thank you, and thanks for the offer on sending some if I can't find them. I need to get a bicycle helmet this week, so I will check around then. At least I know what I am asking for now.
