Breaking throttle cables

Hi all. I have broken two standard VW throttle cables. They usually break or pull out of the pedal end.

I have since removed my twin Webbers and have them overhauled, as I was running springs that were too heavy and the workshop suggested the tension on the cable caused by the heavy springs was possibly breaking the cables.

I was wondering has anyone made up heavier custom throttle cables or will my carby overhaul solve the heavy spring used.

The heavy springs have caused the cables to pull out of the crimped end according to the workshop.

Thanks for any thoughts.

My car is based on a 1963 floorpan.
