Car Question

I was able to repair such a situation one time, remove the bolt and.... oh, never mind. I've offered twice to tell. Nothing to see here, move along. I need all you civillians to step back.

If using anything other than a battery shim, there's a potential for the connection to fail from vibration and cause a spark. If using an actual battery post shim, then it should be ok. Though, I would still replace the cable if possible. Shim would be second option.

Your car, your choice. I could sleep well at night with a piece of copper tubing fashioned into a shim. Once it's tightened down, it's not going anywhere. That is assuming the cable connector isn't already failing, which it might be.

I have a 1/2 inch copper coupling. If I split it linearly, I can put it over the batt neg termianal - while providing the needed/ added radius for myexisting battery clamp. I will cover the terminals with axle grease, to limit future corrosion.

I hope that there is no Galvanic reaction: Copper to lead?

I hope my house does not fall apart from galvanic reaction. All the copper tubing is soldered with lead.

A bunch cut.

I heard long ago the best thing to use is anti seize compound. I have been and it seems to help a lot.
