Go to any car audio shop and ask for a side mount battery post adapter......Stinger, Rockford and probably most other car audio accessory brands make them

Oh sure - most shops should stock them. They come in a couple of styles but all will resemble:

The main part totally replaces the bolt part of the battery cable and then the 'top' unscrews to add wiring. Alternate designs have a threaded post outthe top with a nut - does the same thing but does not look as nice.

You can get one of these and then you can use any of the other clamp style connectors. Available at your friendly neighbourhood Fosgate Dealer.

^ Maybe just opinion but I wouldn't use those. Additional connections and, really, as much as they can be a pain in the *** the sidepost connection is IMO a better connection.
