Is it possible to replace just the bolts on the battery cables? The terminal clamps are still in useable condition, but the nuts are
Would most auto part stores have the replacment bolts?
Thanks,

Since no one knows what kind of vehicle this is it would be hard to answer such a question. Some bolts are part of the harness.

It is a 1990 Dodge Spirit. It has the conventional (top of battery) terminals, as opposed to the GM *side terminal* style.
I realize that I could replace both cables to as a solution too, but they are still in useable condition, from what I can tell.

Any decent auto supply will have replacement square-headed bolts and hex nuts packaged together.
yes those are replaceable

Thanks for the responses. Replacements were only $1.49 at the parts store. I also got some spray on terminal protectant. The felt washers did not hold up very well. The battery, if you can believe it, is almost 9 years old. The warranty was only for 6 years.
