Default Cable Broke on Outside Door Latch, How to Repair?

Hi everyone,
I cant open the outside door on my 06 Mini, After taking the door apart I found that the cable broke. The end rusted off.


I have been unable to find a replacement cable, only option is to buy the whole handle.


If I bring to a bike shop and have a barrel end out on it, will this work? Or is my only option to get a whole handle?
ECS has the handle.

Hello Giac,

The only option I have seen is the whole cable / handle. Don't know if a shop can replace the line , as its internal on the handle part , then might not function correctly.

Also make sure you have th stock chrome version,. There are factory checkered and union jack version.

This is the one for the passenger side:
