Default Help with battery cable tie down

I am having battery connection issues and cannot locate the part that is snapped in half, can anyone guide me to a place that has the part, here is a pic of the negative cables broken part. Do I need to buy the entire negative cable and replace it? Thanks.

It "snaps" together.. It is just there looks/protection on neg side..
Not really necessary.. But you could just zip tie it.. I've never seen the plastic
end caps sold separately.

Had to replace my positive side. You have to buy the entire cable which includes the cap. Check to make sure you order correct part number. One is for side terminals and another one is for the top terminals. I got mine from Ecklers but other places have them. You might check your local Chev parts dept. as you may be able to avoid shipping charges. Good luck.
