Just got this back in and sorted- a friend welded the eyelet back on without any dramas. If it were to break again, i think id go with a clutchcable/bike cable with the right ends on it, as others seem to have done. its a straight run across the door so wouldnt be hard.
plenty of grease INSIDE the bowden cable inner has helped a lot with strain on the handle, much easier to use now.
