I am installing my heater lever and my cable is cut where it attaches to the lever. I think that it is supposed to be a one piece cable that goes to both flaper boxes and attaches to the lever in the middle of the cable.
Should I replace the cable and does anyone carry it?
Or should I just bend the cable ends through the hole in the lever?

Just a little info on the heater cables if you are buying one.
The 75-76 Heater system is different than the 70-74, and the original 75-76 heater pull cable is shorter than the 70-74.
Porsche used to list them as two different items and not only lists them as one. This is OK because the longer cable (70-74) will work fine with the later heater flapper location.
However, if you get a chance to buy a NOS (unlikely) heater cable, and they list it at 75-76 and you have a 70-74 car, skip the chance as it won't fit.
I hope that helps.

Thanks, I knew that there were two size cables, but I did not know what the diff was. I've got Rich at HPH ordering one for me.

When I backdated my exhaust, I had to make a small extension at the lever in order for the ends of the cable to reach the heater valves. I used a 15 ga bicycle spoke.

Mine broke in half at the bend too. I spliced it back togeather with an aluminum clamp used for making picture frame hangers
