1993 Volvo 240 wagon Gate Wiring

Hello!
I removed the gate hinges to replace the broken wires going thru the hinge.
However I find that there is this black ground wire to ground hinge to hinge.
It is broken., how to repair it? it is crimped to the hinges itself.
Any ideas? what have you guys done about it? any ideas in how to repair it?
what kind wire to use?
Thanks

Use a ground strap (wire) that goes from tail-gate to body at top end.

Well... I have eliminated the hinge to hinge ground.
I purchased some ground strap cable, and drill a hole inside the car, ground the cable, run the cable thru the hinge along with the other wires,
Into the gate, and ground it with the grounds in the gate. All is working. I will have puctures if any one is interested. And if anyone needs to know how I did it, just let me know
Thanks
