Positive battery cable - ‘91 8v mk

Hi

After the cable from the positive terminal connector from the battery to the starter motor as it’s not connecting properly which is causing some issues when start the golf

It’s an 8v ‘91 mk2.   Would add a picture but not sure how

Anyone have one of these in decent condition?

If you're not too worried about originality, I'd swap both battery cables out for mk4 golf ones.
They're much thicker:

Thanks - I might go for that if I can’t get an original one.  Trying to keep the car as original as possible.

I put a set of those on and then a mk3 bag type battery cover to keep the oe look.
