If one were to find the break in the wire and replace it (with special high-flex wire), I would re-twist it. There is a reason it's twisted. This tends to cancel out electrical noise. Using a straight set of wires could lead to extremely weird gremlins, like your ABS going out when a trucker keys his CB radio, etc. The signal from a Hall effect sensor is very, very weak.
