Battery terminal issue

Hey all! I've run into an issue with my car. Other day I noticed the battery terminal was sitting very loose on the battery post even when tightened all the way and as I was trying to fix that all the wires going to that terminal came right out. They are held in with a set screw but the screw doesn't hold them well at all one small tug takes them right back out plus the threads are stripped. I think all the extra wires going to the battery are for the aftermarket alarm system (electrical work is not my strong suit lol)

I'm wondering if I used some of those copper terminals (Photo # 3) and crimped them to the loose wires and installed them on the battery terminal with the stud I found in photo # 4 would be a good fix however I'm not sure how I would mount that smaller wire all the way on the right side of my current battery terminal as it would need a smaller copper terminal.

Is there a better way of going about this?

Hey all! I know this is a very local discussion as HoneySeal has only 2 locations both in Canada. I've been hearing lots of good things about Honeyseal undercoating and I'm wondering if it's too good to be true.

 I've got an old car that's very suseptible to rust that I'm trying to protect as well as possible and I'm wondering if honeyseal is the best solution. I heard about Honeyseal about a year ago and back in Febuary got to talk to a Honeyseal employee at the Toronto Auto Show. The employee explained to me how the process works and what they do and how it works and for the most part absolutely sold me on it but I want to know if it's too good to be true before spending a large amount of money getting my car done.

According to Honeyseal the coating should last 10-15 years but they do offer warranty for 3 years and do touch ups. From reading some reviews it seems that with winter driving after a couple of years some high impact areas do start to come off despite the 10+ year claim. This shouldn't be much of an issue as my car does not get driven in winter or even more than 5,000km annually however I'd like to know a more realistic time frame for touch ups. Some say every 3-4 years which I'm fine with but would like to know before paying the near $2,000 price. 

If anyone knows of any better solutions for preserving classic cars please let me know no matter the price. Any other cons you know about Honeyseal? Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you in advance!
