2" Body lift aftermath (spiral cable)

I put the 2" body lift on this weekend. Those directions SUCK! (At least for someone who has never put on a body lift). Of particular concern was the directions (or lack of) for extending the steering column. Anyhow, in all that mayhem, it seems that the steering wheel got over-rotated while the steering shaft was disconnected, breaking the "spiral cable". If you haven't heard of it before (I hadn't), its the adapter that connects the wires from the non-spinning steering column to the spinning steering wheel. The wires are for the horn, airbag, and cruise control. I now have none of those. I pulled the steering wheel to inspect it. It is not user-serviceable (just replaceable), as its considered a Restraint System Part. Has anyone had any experience with this part? In particular, I'm curious if its expensive (I'm guessing it is just because it says SRS on it), and how hard it is to find. The AutoZone guy was clueless, so I guess its a Nissan-only thing. I suppose I'll call some local dealers tomorrow for more insight.
