need new cables

My 96 XJs battery connections are worn and stretched out so that the pos wire is intermittently losing contact w/ the battery when driving. Both pos and neg wires seem to be embedded to their respective terminals. I could probably just clip the wires right at the terminals and replace w/ aftermarket, but I'd rather use OE if possible.

Which brings me to my question. I've looked a while but haven't been able to find someone offering the replacement piece I'm needing...both pos and neg battery wires w/ terminals in-place for my model truck.

If anyone knows where I should look for these things, or has any kind of general advice at all on how I should approach this dealio please lay it on me. All help appreciated.

PS Sorry to have posted my question in this forum.  None of the forums seemed appropriate for my particular dilemma.

the only thing i can think of, is measure the length of your cables and get a set of generics off the HELP rack or from behind the counter. my local parts guy has all kinds of cables
