DIY Metolius ULMC trigger wire repair

So, the trigger ‘wires’ on my #6 ULMC snapped and i was wondering if any of you have experience repairing them.

I know metolius has excellent customer service and would probably fix them for a few bucks if i send them in, but i live in Argentina and sending them in is just too expensive and just a huge hassle. Since it isn’t load bearing part and doesn’t add to the safety of the device, i’d rather just do it myself.

I was thinking about buying 1mm kevlar cord and just tying the ends to the lobes. What do you guys think? Has anybody done this before? If so, i’d love to get some input on how.

Update: It’s done! I ended up just tying a stopper knot in each end of the cordelete. It’s not pretty but it does the job... for cheap

The hardest part was removing the old glue. That shit sticks good...
