Jagwire ferrules, where to get?
Discussion
I've got some Jagwire Ripcord cables (green for gears and pink for brakes) they look lovely but..
The gear kit which comes with a "sealing liner" to cover the top-tube run of normally uncovered cable, requires "nosed" ferrules/end caps, there are two in the kit but I need four, two for each cable.
The brake kit came with some "POP" ferrules which don't fit into the calliper housing, I want to replace them with two of Jagwires "hooded" end caps.
So the front gears are done and the brakes are mostly done but the rear gears aren't.
I can't find any shops near me selling Jagwire anything, full cable kits available on wiggle or amazon but the specific ferrules I need, it looks like one type I can order from one ebayer and the other from another ebayer, both from Taiwan with 10+ days lead time.
Already emailed Jagwire who sent me to a dealer locator which is where I got the list of local shops to try, none of them stock Jagwire
Anyone know of an actual UK based seller (not a "UK" seller from Taiwan) with the various types of ferrule?
On the bright side, the front gears and rear brakes are great, still need to tweak the front. Back slides now

I bought my jagwire stuff from http://www.acycles.co.uk/
I think they are based in france? Either way, I had no issues buying from them.
(I've got a load of gold ferrules if they are any use?)

Well all I need is a couple of 5mm hooded (with the teeny little snub nose) and 2 4mm long nosed. Acycles don't seem to have them.
Perhaps I should just use different ones to the ones I want. Maybe I should bin off the "sealing liner" bit and just use regular ferrules there?
I kinda like the idea of sealing that middle bit but I don't even know how well the seal works. I want to put the hooded ones at the business end reasoning the little rubber bit will reduce dirt/water ingress down there but maybe I'm kidding myself.
