I don't care how it looks, it in an area that no one can see. I did a continuity test, and the wire makes good contact with the rod.
I did go out and look for a ground rod clamp. They wanted FOUR DOLLARS for one. It has maybe 25 cents worth of brass, horribly overpriced.
So your gonna potentially have a fire over $ 4 ?
You can get ground clamps alot cheaper than that.
I'll mail you the correct one if you pm your address, free of charge.
How about this one for $ 2.09
