My transmission to chassis ground strap seems in good condition

As it's too hidden to photograph I found this image of where my problem lies

There's a short strap that goes from the starter body, can be seen in the image with the plastic ring around it on the starter body directly above the word 'battery' in the image. This strap completely rotted and broke in two.

Not sure exactly how to remove that end of the strap from the starter. The other end has a ring connection and a nut and fastens to the solenoid.

Planning to buy a ground strap cable and run it from the solenoid to the chassis and see if that works.

Thanks!
