The porcelain provides electrical insulation, resisits heat and
probably provides strength to the (nichrome) wire. As a last resort
you might try saturating the whole assembly with Super Glue. This
might hold it together if enough of the underlying structure is still
there. You'd then lightly sand the area where the electrical contact
wipes the wires to change the resistance. ...bill
