On a set of pickup coils that I used on my test rig, the wires were both broken about 3/16 of an inch out from the coil plastic. I took some copper capillary tubing out of an old refrigerator and cut two pieces about .090 in long. I slid them on the two wires coming out of the pickup coils, and slid the two new wires in along side of them, and crimped the sleeves with a pair of wire crimpers, the kind with the finger that goes into the notch. Some heat shrink tubing over the connection, and some semi hard curing compound around the covered joints, to preclude movement that might weaken the wire where it goes into the plastic, and you have it.
A friend, that used to work for an electronics company, had a roll of the wire that is about what we want. I can ask him if there is a number on it. Or if he would sell some. It only comes in one color, but magic markers can help there. Check the Internet for wire suppliers, and you might find some with different colors. Then the problem is that they don't want to sell in less than roll quantities, and you need a couple of feet. Life is tough.
But short.
