    control cable hold down engine side, fragile? Answer?

    I have been through 2 of these cantilever lock down things on the side of the old 2.4. They have probably spent more time with 3 zip ties on the cables than the actual part that is supposed to hold them down. Is it just me or do these things usually break? Is there a permanent solution? Is there a later style that will bolt up? Thanks in advance.
