What is the best/correct way to attach the wires of a manual remote control side mirror from the 60´s to the knob on the inside?

I think those wires are supposed to be permanently attached by the factory with no provision for repair and no repair parts, unless you can duplicate the factory methods. Do you need photos of a working assembly? I can take photos.

Hi guys
Thanks for replying. I don´t need photos. My unit is somewhat dissimilar to the one in the photo above. In my case the three cables have been detached from the housing. I am afraid that I will break them when trying to put them again into their respective sockets because I have to pull very hard on them. I thought someone here knew how to put the wires into their sockets without having to pull very hard.

As mentioned, that is not usually considered a serviceable part. Being your across the pond, I guess you choices are some what limited. If you have the patients for it, I say go for it.
That metal is kind of soft, maybe you could pry the socket open a bit. Then press them together again once you have seated the cables. Or maybe make a holder and/or put it in a vise, so as to tap them in with a hammer and punch. Be careful though as it's also old and might be brittle.

I simply found one complete and functional off another car in a junkyard. not so easy to do in Iceland But looking for a good one is probably still the best bet. I've got this one but it's got that stupid blind spot mirror stuck on it.
