Great instructions. Something similar happened to my powerbook G4 adapter. When I went to remove the outer white insulation to get to the two wires inside, i found one wire in grey insulation, and the other wire in a braided mesh around a green nylon string.

Any suggestions on how to connect this braided wire with the end connected to the plug?

I always wondered... what is that nylon bristle stuff for in head phones anyway. Antistatic Insulation?

It gives strength to the cord.
