Default What to do about ripped battery terminal ends?

93 civic got stolen a few months ago, finally putting her back together. The ends of the battery cables were ripped out, damaging the connection to the fuse box. What can I do besides buy another fuse box?

I would grab a decent one from the junkyard.

You might be able to fix that, but swapping one out is going to be a lot easier.

I ended up going to the junkyard and grabbed the terminals from the fuse box. Cost me $20 including a window handle, ashtray, glove compartment latch, a relay, and the 80a fuse for the battery. So I'm not sure how much the terminals were by themselves.

Put the terminals in my box and they work fine.
