I used a regular 5mm bolt, no need to go to Ikea. I have actually used a threaded one on my new brake so I can put bolts on it to keep the cable in place.
Here's the mod I used

Turn the adjusters round, file out the brake so the flat bit of the mod is recessed in the end of the brake.
Get a longer bolt to attach the mod to the lever. It should stay in place with just a bolt.
Cut out the cable holder inside the brake.
Drill a 5mm hole just outside where the cable holder was attached.
drill 2x 2mm holes in a 5mm pin. The distance is the same distance between the holes in the mod ie. so the cables go in to the mod straight.
Cut away some of the side of the brake so the pin can move back and forth.
Done.
