Good Morning. 



I recently installed a US Tower HDX589.  I also installed a number of 3/4" 10ft 
ground rods. Then cad-welded #2 stranded copper wire to the rods. I am now 
trying to determine the best way to connect the #2 wire to the tower base.  In 
past installations, I simply drilled a hole thru the tower base steel, used a 
stainless bolt/nut/washer, and fastened a copper ground lug to the tower. Then 
stick the ground wire into the lug and tighten it. 



Before I break out the drill this weekend, does anyone have a better solution?
