Default Battery terminal bolt replacement

Is it possible to replace just the bolts on the battery cables? The
terminal clamps are still in useable condition, but the nuts are
*rounded* so that a wrench won't stay on them anymore.

Would most auto part stores have the replacment bolts?

Thanks,

-KM

Since no one knows what kind of vehicle this is it would be hard to answer
such a question. Some bolts are part of the harness.

It is a 1990 Dodge Spirit. It has the conventional (top of battery)
terminals, as opposed to the GM *side terminal* style.

I realize that I could replace both cables to as a solution too, but
they are still in useable condition, from what I can tell.

Any decent auto supply will have replacement square-headed bolts and hex
nuts packaged together.

Thanks for the responses. Replacements were only $1.49 at the parts
store. I also got some spray on terminal protectant. The felt washers
did not hold up very well. The battery, if you can believe it, is
almost 9 years old. The warranty was only for 6 years.
