Hot End Cartridge - Wire Broke. Fix? Replacement?

[DanWake]

I checked on a print and saw that it wasn't extruding, so I looked at the temperature - 26°! I started tracing the wires and found that one of the wires going into the cartridge on my hot end had broken right where it goes in. I'm thinking that it's not going to be possible to fix this, but thought I'd throw the question out there in case any of you have managed a repair like this.

If it's not repairable, what would be a good source for a cartridge? I know that the dimensions are 4.93mm diameter with a length of 25.00mm. Is there anything else I need to know to find a different one?

Needs to be 12 volt.

those should work, I have bought from the same ebay seller. no issues.

I didn't see a diameter on those and it looks like 6mm is pretty common. Is that right?

yes, they are all 6mm dia. that I have seen. fairly "standard"
the ones I bought are indeed 6mm

That's what I was afraid of - my hotend (Ubis) uses a 5mm cartridge. May have to bite the bullet and get it from Printrbot. I could use some other parts too...

is there room to ream it to 6mm?
