  • I think you are over complicating things. Just put it together with the ferule you have and see what it does.

    I just checked my parts bin and all the step down ferules I found have an outer diameter of around 4mm at the point where they enter the cable stop. I used to buy and sell all sorts of frames, including frames with your type of cable stop, so I am pretty sure these were the ones used. If I recall correctly these ferrules will require your to strip modern cables to enter the ferule.

  • I'm with @SWijland here. I admire your perserverance in finding the exact one, but in my experience one of 4mm insert diameter should also work. I would pre-bend the outer cable a bit in the required shape and than just try it. If the exit angle under tension is still not exactly what you want, I would 'shim' the 4mm part of the ferrule just a little with a thin layer of duct-tape, teflon,.... in order to get a better fit.
