Review on HQRP AC Power Cord for Dyson DC14 Upright Vacuum Cleaner - Mains Cable Compatible with DC-14 All Floors, DC14 Animal, DC14 Low Reach, DC14 Total Clean, DC14 Full Kit, DC14 Full Gear, DC14 Full Access by Dianne Williams

The cord is the same 17 AWG wire with spade and ferrule as the original. It took some effort to thread the cord through the welly, but no more than a similar piece with a shovel. Use electrical tape to join the ends into a single piece that you can brush with some dish soap and thread through. Time will tell how strong the line is.
