Sorry can't help with a supplier, but if you have both ends you can repair, and even use bicycle brake cable to repair and extend, and use wire rope clamps to join. You can use electrical connection blocks, but for a proper job check out something like this:

I'd suggest the duplex ones and loop the cable back on itself if that makes sense.

do you have the old cable? I have a few new cables, I can measure length to confirm fit. if not try picture hanging wire from amazon, comes with clip/clamps make loopy ends, will do temp repair...... or as eddy says chocolate block connector can work too.

Reading this topic with interest as my driver’s seat no longer tilts! I would be very interested in these used cables please if Daz doesn’t snap them up.
