Rear derailleur cable connector

[midliferider]

While I changing the cables, I have lost the small piece which connect the cable to the rear derailleur. I googled it and it is not something that you can buy.
What can I do?

You might need to buy a new derailleur, they can be cheap dependant on model.

Or buy an old cheap similar one on eBay to use as a donor part.

Thank you.
Now I have found those two pieces. What is missing is the bolt for that nut.
I found a bolt that will fit in to the nut. But when i tighten the nut, bolt keep circling with the tightening movement.

You got any old brake calipers , the fixing bolt/ nut might be similar .

Hold the nut with a pair of pliers.

Hold the nut with a pair of pliers.

I did, but holding plier in one hand, allen key in the other leaves no hand to pull the cable!
I have a "third hand" tool but it was still not possible.
I am just angry and disappointed. I fix new shifters and brake calipers but what had taken most of my time and energy was to fix this rear cable. Still not complete!
