you can get replacement solder or screw on clamps from motor factors

There are several ways of doing it - just replace the bolts, sometimes does it, or tapping the connector down on the post.
If you need to replace the connectors, you can buy them from loads of places, Halfrauds, fleabay etc, and you can get lots of different types n styles. The most common is attached to the cable by two clamp screws (make sure they are done up tight) or if you have a 100W-150W soldering iron, that is a better option.

Or drop a couple of panel pins between clamp & post.
