Battery Terminal Bolt? Help

Cross threaded this bolt when I put on the tender 6 months ago so enjoyed a rigorous 30 min removing it this Spring, ultimately threading it and therefore its shot. Can anyone provide direction where to find this single piece, the dealer only offers the negative terminal cable unit at $2xx so the service tech and I had laugh this afternoon. Thanks in advance!

Is there enough material to use a thread fixer to straighten out the threads?

Don't think so, had to use so much force the thread is nearly gone.

I used one off a VW Jetta on an X5 before. It's just a T bolt.

RMEuropean sells them (currently out of stock it seems)
Google "european negative battery t bolt" and you will see several options. It appears that the negative and positive T bolt is the same. You just need to check the thread size because I don't know.
Even Amazon sells it.
