Starter motor cable to solenoid

The wire cable between main body and solenoid has perished and parted.
What kind of (permanent) repair can l do please?

Hmm, I think you'll find that what is left ispretty flaky and falls apart in your hands. When faced with a similar situation I think I did manage to feed some decent cable between the various strands and solder into place to make a connection. IIRC that was because I was in the midst of recommissioning the car and didn't want to be held up or spend on a new starter until other issues were solved. I think it's still on it

Best option may be to take it to a starter / alternator refurb place and ask them to replace the cable

Cheers David, sound advice as usual. Was hoping a home fix was available. Only place l know is in Bexleyheath. But not up that way for a while.
Will check out internet.

Top idea. May dig out the starter tomorrow and have a play.
Thanks
