I wouldn't mess with the ends of the cables. Unless you now the correct crimp pressure and radius. I simply tried what I read on here last year, 'shouldered M4 buttonhead screw and nylock nut aside a new stock '03 cable/1mm washer/stock 944 brake shoe spreader. Slack enough so the cable dosen't have to bend.
The guide tube on the caliper mount needed shortening by ~15mm and 3 layers of heat shrink tubing make a nice strong, straight, sealed outer-cable splice. Cable outer's are 10mm zip tied to the arms. Simple, cheap and very reliable.
The 2 M4 screws I used could together, carry the weight of the car.
The effect of the ~6mm misalignment is negligible. After 14 months daily use, all is sweet. I may yet modify the spreader like in the gallery, tho' it doesn't give me any real concern's.
