Default Threaded throttle cable issue

Hey friends, ran into a problem while installing a new throttle. Stripped the handlebar control housings off and installed this throttle:
https://www.throttleaddiction.com/1-...ttle-assembly/

I have a 2008 Sportster 883 (EFI) and the throttle cables snap in rather than screw in, but the throttle has threaded holes. However when I try to find threaded throttle cables online, I'm having trouble finding them with the right end at the engine end of the cable. (The solid cylinder at the end of the cable).
I found a set of threaded adapters online from Biltwell but I can't confirm if the threading is the right size...
Anybody had this issue before? Or recommend a quick fix? Thanks a lot!
