oh I just noticed something. Sorry if you already thought about this, basically the old sort of raleigh brake calliper needs a cable with a little lug on each end, they don't screw the cable into the calliper like most modern brakes.
I have heard of people using a soldering iron to put a little bit on each end of the cable after its been put in the sleeve but I just used this: http://www.trialsbits.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=65_230&products_id=1321
solderless cable nipple, I just screwed it in hyper tight and nothing has gone wrong so far
hope that is of some use
