Actually, trawling idly through the vintage section of Ebay:

One C64SX cable, 30 bucks.

SX64's work with c128d keyboards if I remember correctly.  If you set your
c=key up to emulate c128d keyboard, it should work pretty reasonably with a
straight through 25pin cable.

Thanks to all for all your advices to repair a sx64
 
My keyboard now works perfectly
 
(just in case, I bought a C=Key from  <http://go4retro.com> go4retro.com)
 
I need to build a special flat cable to connect it ?
The connector is too big to fit the standard cable.
 
The floppy is mostly working (the error rate is high, it often bump but
recover)
 
Any idea on how to fix that ?
 
 
Thanks
