Battery cable bolts and rectangle nut what size and where to find them?

I searched for this on the forum couldn't find anything.

I need/ really want the stock bolt and rectangle nuts that hold the battery cables to the battery.

Where can I find these? and/or What size are they?

2. When you buy a new battery, keep the nuts from the old one.
3. Buy a regular nut at the hardware store. Hold onto it with needle nose pliers and grind it down on 2 opposite sides with a dremel.
I should have saved mine from my last battery.

You can probably ask an auto parts store if you can salvage one off their traded-in batteries. Most were willing to hep me dig through for an Exide vent cap from my OEM Toyota Corolla battery when mine went missing, though I never found a match.

Or you can get a 6-32 screw and nut and grind two of the flats on the nut to fit in the battery terminal. No big deal.
