Fuel Tank Level Sender Repair...?

I was troubleshooting my fuel level gauge that went “silent” and discovered that the problem (open circuit) is with the fuel tank sender unit. If one is careful these can be taken apart to inspect the float and sliding wire guide mechanism.

In my case the wire (acts as a rheostat) apparently snapped (must be the “heavy gas” in PA).

Have any of you replaced the naked wire and can tell me the type you used and any trick to keep it taut while still being able to solder the end-points… (?)

Thanks!
