The antenna lead used is a very special coaxial cable. Its a floffy outer insulator of rather large thickness. The outer sheath is commonly alufoil on plastic foil. The inner is just a single thin gauge wire. Very odd cable to try repair with anything you know off :evil:

It is in fact the best solution to slide a new cable through.

It might be worth bleeding the rear brakes if one of the sphere had ruptured. I would have thought if enough gas had come out to give bubbles in the tank there is a reasonable chance some may have got in to the rear brake circuit.
