Another thought...  Think this clamp method would be acceptable under NEC?

What's the best way to connect the copper wire/strap to the 55G tower leg?

I'm planning to clean the galvanized leg, wrap the leg with a layer of
0.005" SS shim stock and then use a couple of SS hose clamps to hold the wire against the tower leg.
Is that the right way to do the attachment?

Should I use any copper paste as well?
