Getting battery corrosion on battery wire, will this cause a problem? Is this wire replaceable?

Look at picture 2 in my first post. The copper terminal clamp was ate up from acid.
I had cleaned the wires as best as I could and tightened the clamp back and it cracked.
Thats when I just got a new one from ford. about $150. I think. Had a mechanic
change it out for 2 hrs labor. Its a very delicate set up and needs to be perfect.
