Hi Merv:
You might consider brazing the copper straps together.
I think that even a better idea would be to clean the copper straps with 320
grit wet/dry
sandpaper. Coat with "naolox" or a simular electrical paste. Then join with
10/32 brass
screws, flat washers, lockwashers and nuts. I would put one screw about
every 1/2 inch or so.
Stainless steel hardware would also do a good job.
I could pickup here what ever you need and send it to you.
Nice to see you on 160 last PM.
