Recaro seat back not tilting forward

[pantera928]

I recently encountered a problem with my driver's seat back not being able to be folded forward for rear seat access. Here is what I found and how I fixed it in case others have a similar issue.

There is a cable attached to the handle that has what looks like a lead end on it to keep it from getting loose from the black flat metal piece that moves to unhook the seat back. See picture below. It looks like a piece of it snapped off allowing the end to slip through the hole

I found some split 1/8" fittings at a local Ace Hardware which I attached to the end of the cable after I passed it through the hole in the black metal piece.

Here is end result.
