Glen, My distributor is part# 113 905 205M. The braided wire is attached to a square nut on the inside of the distributor casing which holds the screw for attaching the condenser to the outside of the casing. I don't see any tabs, screws or broken piece of braided wire to determine how to reattach it. I've only got solder to attach copper wires; is there another type of solder that will attach this braided wire to the metal advance plate? I can take a picture if that would help.
