I have a '75 914. The original heater system was dismantled by one of the previous owners. I've been slowly rebuilding it back.

At this point I'm on the last piece of it. I got the heater valves in place and the cable on that end seems to be just fine. However, I took my floor lever apart and realized that the cable is pretty broken. (See attached pic).

So my question is - how hard is it to put that thing in and what exactly mounts it to the lever? There is a small hole in the bottom of it but I can't figure it out. Obviously I'll have to buy a new one. Thanks.
