Battery cables and windshield washer nozzle

Car is a 94 GS. Sorry for the dumb questions but many of the missing pages of the online shop manual concern these parts.

With last week's horrible freezing weather in Toronto I had a couple of unfortunate casualties.

Cleaning the 6 inches of ice off my car I apparently cleaned off the driver's side windshield washer nozzle. Sheared the plastic top right off and the line fell back down under the hood.

Then on Saturday my car stalled. Moisture and loose battery connections. They look like the original cables and the fasteners are so stripped and rusted that it is impossible o properly tighten them. Also there is a loose connection from the PO's subwoofer. Basically figured I might as well replace the cables.

So a couple of really dumb questions. Are these parts totally generic or at least really common in the Mazda/Ford space?

If I can just run to the Canadian Tire and buy generic battery cables what length do I need?

Thanks

Not sure about the battery cable, but you should be able to get new terminals or fasterns from cajun tire. Also, the nozzels, can be bought from mazda for 20 dollars each. I'm getting some right away (to much snow + 10 degrees = holy s---)

Before you go out and spend lots of money at Mazda go to this site.

He's a local Toronto MXer so it's perfect. If I remember correctly, he's got both those parts.
