I would like to have one of my weissenborn guitars in a high G tuning GBDGBD. The scale length is 24.75 and max string tension is recommend up to 165lb. Is there a site that lists string tension for individual strings?

Something from D'Addario. These are phosphor bronze, but if you look around there, you'll find some other charts plus a link to an app you get.

For something easy, the Newtone Aloha set is designed to allow high G tuning on all types of new/old Weissenborn guitars without damaged. I only know of one website that regularly carries them, and they aren't always in stock. I've used them on my Gold Tone style 4 and like them okay.
