Could you not drill the rivets out, repair as needed then re-rivet it on? Would need a picture to work out a good bodge really |

Hi Paul, and welcome from a fellow Londoner.
Any chance you could load a couple of pictures of the cleaner please - 1977 is very late for a 6525 unless it was an exclusive to a department store or electrical chain. The (plastic) cable clips breaking is very common on both this and the Junior model, but I am sure there will be someone here to advise. Cable replacement is very easy, and if you are not confident about it, get yourself down to South London and I can have a look at it. Al |

is easy just take the bag off then the hood you will see a cover on the conector block take it off and this is what you will see the blue and brown wires are the other end of the mains flex the cable goes down the handle into a plastic sheath thats held in place by a clip thats screwed onto the motor undo this and it will come loose put your new cable through the sheath leaving enough to make the new conection put the clip back on connect blue and brown as in the photo cover on hood on and away you go hope this helps regards Anthony

If it's a model with plastic cord hooks, the junction box should be inside the pitch fork. |

Hey...what about passing by a HOOVER SERVICE shop ? It might sound a stupid suggestion but they usually keep old stuff like that ( handles, hoods, etc and other parts from broken machines which are left at the shop from the owners because sometimes cannot be repaired or it would cost too much, etc ) from the most common machines like this senior ( 652 was the top seller of all times, after all ! ) and you can probably buy one used handle for few money and replace it GUIDO
