Starter cable corroded off.

The big positive cable that attaches to the starter/solinod corroded off right at the connecter. Actually the connecter broke in have.

I managed to get the crimped part of the connector off the cable. Cable is in great shape all the way up to the battery.

Can I just get a new connector and attach/crimp it to the cable?

I don't want to replace the entire harness.

I striped the cable and crimped a new copper connector on. Seal it with heat shrink and attached it back to the starter solinod. I coated the connection in dielectric grease.

Alot easier then replacing the harness.
