Is it pos or neg causing the problem? The positive terminal is actually a very good design on 306s if it looks corroded, just take some boiling water to it and a wire brush.
If yours is like mine, the neg terminal will be slightly too big. Problem with just cutting them off and fitting bolt on ones is where the wire is clamped in with screws, you never get as good a connection which can lead to problems eventually. If it is the negative, you could either take it off (it's just bolted onto the box and battery) and file a bit out of the expansion gap so you can tighten it up more or go and buy a new earth loom from pug (about £40). I always try and avoid "screw on" terminals.
