I'd heard the same so I cut the cable at the end and put a blob of weld on the end as a new nipple.
Its still fine after 2 years.

Here's my effort. I cut the handbrake cable in half. I then used the adjuster off a rover 200 handbrake and bolted this to the Sierra lever. The
cable is attached to the adjuster with a piece of 10mm rod drilled through so the cable will go through then drilled from top to bottom and tapped to
4mm. Cable is securd by a grub screw top and bottom.
Adjustment is done through a hole in the rear bulkhead panel and a rubber grommet seals the hole after adjustment. Works a treat.
