starter cable broke help

my starter cable snapped so i stripped the cable and put a new insert and it pretty much melted lol i guess it wasn't meant to hold high voltage, i pretty much used a stereo insert thing used for speaker and it just didn't handled the voltage. Does anyone know where to get these cables or how to make one?
the cable broke today while at work and the cable fell on top of connection A and it was non stop turning until i disconnected the battery, crazy, so i just need this cable replace or make a new one that could handle the voltage

the wire I'm talking about goes to C

The cable on "c" is the trigger cable.

yes the trigger cable is a female connection and it broke in half, i used a female spade for car stereos and it bent in half on its own and snapped of again, is there a certain spade size i should get or any would do?
