TPI to carb throttle cable question

I am in the process of hooking up my throttle and tv cables on my brawler 750 carb. I have the sonnax geometry corrector and the trick flow bracket for the cables. The throttle cable is the original TPI cable and it doesn't have the correct end on it for it to snap on to the linkage. Is there a way so that I can just change the end of the cable instead of having to buy a TBI or original carb cable? In the picture below you can see the end of the throttle cable that I am talking about.

I've been looking everywhere for an eyelet to put on the end of the cable but I can't find one. Do you happen to know of a part number for one?
