If just the wire cable broke then you can go to a bike shop and get a brake cable and use some crimps down by the pedal with some solder. I did this and it works great and the cable was like 3bucks.

I "removed" the plastic mount to the firewall of the old stock cable, and bolted it in front of the Rx7 cable....fixed.
