broken matty 6" proton packs. help!

Ok so the cords going from the thrower to the proton pack on my matty 6 inchers have broken off where they connect at the pack. anybody had this happen and cook up a fix? im thinking drill and attach a thin black cord a la the old kenner style packs and ditch the rigid broken cords then attach the new cord to the throwers using shink tubing. thoughts?

Hey REG!

Been there, fixed that:

Thanks Cap! ill give it a try. still new to mattel customs. now that theyre cheaper its time to play around a little.
