You want M type cables - just read descriptions and check the dates.

this was from a quick google you may find better prices elsewhere or all from one shop.

Check the nipples inside the brake levers, the inners and outers can be bought anywhere, however the inner gear cable can’t be bought separately (unless you file down the nipple on a regular cable) but a complete kit is available from Brompton for just over £20

this is true - but then he has be sure to get them to the correct lengths. Oh and make sure you "route" the cables correctly otherwise you may balls up the fold.

Take plenty of photos of the routing it’s easy to get it wrong, also be really careful of cable gatherer it’s easy to break

Pretzel?

At least in Germany the nick name for that type of bar is "Brezellenker" ("pretzel bar").

Quite possibly then, you could hang a lot of pretzels on them....
