I haven't the need to replace that cable but I think you can use an old IDE connector cable for replacement. Two ribs are nearly the perfect spacing for one lead.

Have fun

Thanks Andi, I'll look into it.

cheers

Tony

An idea that came to my brain tonight:
Maybe you can use parts (stripes) of the broken cable at both ends as kind of socket to the connector and solder the IDE cable to those sockets. I don't know the leads of the ribbon cable are solderable
