Looking at a couple options, but this one has everything needed down to the shrink wrap. Would the stock cables be #2 3/8", which is what the copper lugs accept? Can these lugs be crimped to the cables with a good set of channel locks and/or by melting some lead in there possibly from the old terminal? Need to check the battery post diameter too for fitment...
This might be another option for the lugs, but seems like just a hyped up local auto parts stick the cable into the hole and bolt down the nuts on either side until tight, which still leaves it exposed...not as big a deal with AGM batteries, but still.
the first two options are a no-go
no way a pair of channel locks can apply enough pressure to crimp any connector, not even #22 wire. it makes a mangled mess.
the 3rd option, the Hammer blow crimper is useful, have used it since the '60s with good success, the appearance is less than what I want though.
those simple battery terminals with only the one bolt, are not good for more than ONCE in my opinion, yeah, people keep using them, but once and they are done in my book...
I go with the military style, or the multi-terminal type.
for the terminals on the 1/0 cables, I use a Hydraulic crimper, mine is from Amazon.. you need a GAS TIGHT connection between the Terminal and the Cable, and cheap crimpers just cannot apply enough force.

The first one is the military style terminals...are you just saying the 2-0 lugs are incorrect? I can't find any definitive answer on factory battery cable size for both positive and negative runs...
