May be that i can help. My company uses copper strap for Rf grounding on
plastic boats. I am not sure how good the pricing is but here is a list
of
what is available.
GS-1-50 $20.25 1" x 50'
GS-2-25 $20.25 2" x 25'
GS-2-50 $36.00 2" x 50'
GS-4-50 $64.50 4" x 50'
GS-6-25 $48.00 6" x 25'
You would have to mention Tesla in your email for this pricing.
We only use the 2" stuff as it is a good compromise between ease of use
and
performance.
