One of these:

What diameter's the top tube...this clamps 1 1/8", 28.6mm.

thanks for all the help/info guys!!

I'll probably go for the full length outer for now. Or maybee I'll try to use the metal tube as a cable stop.

That sorta works OK.

you've tried the tube as cable stop idea?

what makes it not work good?

You could cut back the 'noodle' to the side of the seatpost. Bit of touchup paint to mask the filing and chopping, then ....
might be a bit messy.

or

use the stop end of a v-brake noodle, they often just pull off and place that on the end of the frames noodle and create a place for the cable to sit in.
Use a 135degree noodle on the v-brake and it might just work if there is enough distance.

It could of been my cable housing, but the brake release or cable friction was high going through the tube into my housing. With a ferrule that fits the tube properly it might work great. I stripped some old cable back to enter the tube and that needed better attention or a different cable style(strands instead of steel wrap). Functionally it worked fine , just being a little slow on the release. It worked so I never messed with it . I am painting the bike now , so I will sort it out.

I thought of cutting back the noodle (on the frame) too.

Some flexible noodles (jagwire) are on it's way, so hope that helps a bit too.

You could try a stepped ferrule in the cable sleeve then run a small bit of outer to the noodle. Actually you could use the current crop of shimano ferrules that extend through a conventional cable stop. That could give you something to fit the small bit of outer cable you'll need to run to the noodle? This would cost a few pennies from any bike shop.
