The simple way to make a clamp and not needing to machine anything is to use a copper strip (cut from a sheet of copper or a thin bus bar) that you can wrap around the pipe and only one bolt is needed to make this into a clamp that always fits.

Buy a grounding rod clamp. ________________________________ From: EV <ev-boun...@lists.evdl.org> on behalf of Bill Dube via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> Sent: Friday, December 23, 2016 12:06 PM To: John Lussmyer; Electric Vehicle Discussion List Subject: [EVDL] Schneeveis battery load (was: Testing Leaf Modules) Bob Schneeveis had what I thought was the best solution. He had a ~6 ft section of ~3/4" thinwall stainless steel tube. He put compression fittings on the end to connect it up to a garden hose. He then machined two large copper split clamps that slid smoothly over the tube with large electrical connections on each. He would turn on the water, and repostion the clamps to attain the desired resistance, tighten the thumb screws to hold them in position on the tube, then turn on the current from the battery. In went cold water. Out came hot water. It can be set for any load you desire. Very nifty indeed. (Not UL approved. ;-) ) Bill D.
