Polyphaser has stainless steel hose clamps that have a section that fits
underneath the ground strap/wire/braid and protects from bimetallic
corrosion. (not the exact term for it, I know, but I can't recall the
exact term off the top of my head)
Georgia Copper (www.georgiacopper.com) sells them and also sells wide
copper strap to connect them with and Polyphaser strap-to-ground rod
clamps. Only problem I've found is coming up with any sort of cadweld
or other brand of mold to attach strap to ground rods with. Instead,
all I've found is the Polyphaser copper clamp to clamp the strap to the
rod. For a 5/8" rod, you'll need to figure out some sort of shim for
that one. However, it's a serious connection and you can use a cadweld
one-shot or similar to go above the clamp to connect the various rods.
