The cable that pulls the heat flapper open broke off, is there a tech article on how to replace those, may as well do both, if one broke the other is probably not far behind.

The cable seems to be nothing more than just a steel wire. I would think the steel wire that can be purchased in spools at a local home improvement/hardware store would work.
Take out a length of the wire, straighten it and bend in half then fish it through the tunnel. Since the originals had the barrel at the end to connect to the flapper, I just got the ends from another cable and wire clamped them onto the new wire. |

SS wire would probably be a lot better than straight steel. |
