Bob:
Instead of a copper ground clamp (likely to cause corrosion at the
connection point due to dissimilar metals in contact in water), I'd suggest
using stainless steel bolts, lockwashers and nuts plus a pair of fender
washers (above and below the screen) wherever you wish to make a connection.
Fender washers are exceptionally large in diameter as compared to normal
washer sizes for the particular diameter of bolt. They gather a lot of
metal in the connection area when applied.
