Default Battery cable blues

My postive terminal battery cable ring (the part that hugs the battery post) is split; it is now being held together by duct tape. I called acura and asked for a battery cable (+ve), and its $70+ for part, 100+ to replace. What does this part comes with? Do I have to replace the two wires that connects to the +ve terminal as well or is thsi just the metal part? And why does this cost $70?
I cannot find somethg similar at Walmart or auto stores- our +ve cable has the one L-bracket welded to it. Any ideas?

Thanks for the replies. There are two set of wires that are connected to the +ve terminal. Can I just get the regular post/cable from walmart and then crimp both teh wires to teh new +ve terminal? Thanks
