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.
