The requirement is for a splice or connection to be made both mechanically and electricallyand insulated.

Get a piece of copper tubing where the ID matches the OD of the 8ga.

Put the wire in the tubing , hammer it flat , solder it , and cover with shrink tubing.

Not as good as a replacement wire but close enough for a couple of decades.
