cable should have a nipple swaged on the end as seen on the left side
you probably need a new cable and if you haven't got it the clip that goes on the cam to keep the cable in the groove when you lift off, part number is 046 129 559 but I don't know where you'd buy one now, probably a wanted ad job, I will check if I have one in my small parts boxes
sorry the first pic looked just like the wire was cut
the bit you are after I think is part of what VW describe as the connecting rod, part number 025 129 335 C
there is a listing on Ebay by the guys in Latvia who resell VW ClassicParts - I have bought from them previously - the part is available from VW Classic Parts themselves, and you could ask Brickwerks to get it from them if you don't want to buy from Ebay seller or VWClassicParts themselves, postage and taxes etc. can be an issue - last time I bought from the Latvians was pre Brexit, whilst the Ebay price includes shipping and taxes, it is possible you'll get hit up by customs when it enters the country now, so ask the question of the Riga boys
or put up a wanted, it maybe someone has a carb in bits/for bits and will sell that bit to you
