Default Throttle cable replacement

Hi I'm not sure if this is the right area to post in for this but I have a 97 ranger and my throttle cable broke. I think it might have had too much strain on it because the kid who owned the truck before me had that throttle mod with the zip ties on but I'm not sure if that's the reason. But anyways I was wondering if there was any way to re attach the end to the wire. Or if I should just replace it entirely. And if I do replace it entirely if it's an easy thing to fix because I'm not the greatest mechanic because if it's gonna be a big project I'll take it to the shop lol. Thanks

Yeah I want to but I called Advanced and they don't carry them. Fml. So in the meantime before I go to a junkyard I crimped an end to hold a bolt against the petal and I'm hoping that'll hold for a few days until I can just get a whole new piece
