modifying Cable Stops

Replaced the cable operated disc brakes on my Giant XTC, about 3 months, with an Avid Ellixier 3 set-up. The cable guides/stops along the top tube wont accept the hoses so at the moment i've got a couple of zipties holding it in place. Can the stops be modified to take the hose or can i buy anything to hold them.

Had thought about cutting them out a bit to suit but wasnt sure how to keep the hose in place so have stuck witht cable ties at present.

but at a guess you need a pair of these
but who knows without pictures of the stops.

If you drill out the stops and then widen the slot you can use the item Nick has linked to to hold the hose in place with out splitting the system.

but as the OP has not supplied a suitable image who knows.

Thanks for all the replies.
Now i look at it im thinking the hose should fit in the centre stop and use an adapter that nick posted an image of earlier in the thread, and the outside stop for the cable setup remains empty.
Have tried Halfords and my LBS but cant seem to find any. Any idea where i might get some of these.
Thanks
I think I may have some spare, PM me.
And find a new LBS!
Put sleeve over hose, insert unsleeved section of hose in the cable holder, slide sleeve into cable holder to hold it all in place.
