Default looking for pickup thoughts

I just acquired a used Guild J2512E 12 string. The previous owner for some reason cut the UST cable about 1/8" off of the bridge plate when he removed the electronics (Yes I did know this when I acquired it). I do have the removed electronics.

As I understand, this uses a Fishman Sonitone system.

Right now funds are limited.
Is a repair of those 2 tiny wires even worth my try at it? I am fair with a soldering iron.
Guild will sell me a complete new system for $50.
I need to call Fishman to see if they will just sell the transducer.

Trying to keep this low to no dollar for now. I will replace it with a better system once I am employed again.

So I guess the question is, has anyone ever repaired a cut cable that is so close to the bridge plate?
