Hi
I just cleaned the pipe itself with a wire brush till it was shining like
new, got a jubilee clip ( car hose clip) and put the ground wire through the
clip, tightened the clip on the pipe then used my heavy duty solder gun, I
ran a test with my multimeter and it is giving a good ground.
cheers

About four years ago,that married Irish woman in Bognor Regis,England
hired a guy to repair a leaky pipe in their toilet.The guy didn't know
anything at all about doing plumbing repair jobs.He tried to solder that
leaky pipe instead of replacing the leaky pipe with a new pipe.I guess
old Tony bought quite a few pints at the pubs over there with the money
they paid him.

These come in two styles. The zinc (or aluminium?) style is for indoor,
dry locations. The brass version may be buried in the soil. I'd use an
anti oxidant such as Penetrox or NoAlox on the screws and joint if
burying the connection.
