Hi, just my $0.02 worth. I have some instrumentation amplifiers here also looked into low resistance connections for my other projects.
If I recall correctly you need to look at the electrochemical series. For interconnects on Al you want a metal similar on the ES. The oxide is a problem but if you connect it properly eg with an oil droplet and clamp connnector using compatible vernier it should be fine. Looking at how wiring in the US is done might give you some ideas.

If you can make a decent drawing of what you need (it doesn't have to be a draughtsmanlike job, as long as the form and measurements are clearly shown), I bet you can find someone in your radio club, or a personal friend, or someone on a list you frequent to make it for a nominal cost (you would probably need to pay for the raw material, although I don't charge for anything that comes out of my scrap pile and this is true of many other home shop machinists). HSMs are behind every third or fourth garage door in the UK. Another option would be to build up the parts as you have done, then have someone TIG weld the pieces together.
