I soldered the end on as described above.
Thanks! I need a longer cable so salvaging parts from the existing one won't. The barrel on the existing cable looks to be lead or similar.

It is highly likely that it was a cable part from another assembly like you showed. The go-kart place had cables with shields on them too. I found a kart track locally that said they would sell me one if I can get a match. I'll drive over today after work.
