Why machine a clamp. Buy a grounding rod clamp.

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. ;-) )
