The conection to my battery seems to be broke on the metal part that connects to the battery on one of the sides. I,ve got a replacement metal peace to put on , but its a bit different than the old one . it seems by the way it looks ill have to strip the wires and then clamp the new peace onto the wires . now my question is it ok to strip both wires running to the peace and clamp them together into the new metal part?

If I understand your post correctly, yes, that will work.

When you strip the insulation back, if you see a lot of corrosion, it would be best to replace the cable.
