Yes, cap manufacturers use a special type of solder to solder aluminum end
foils together, and then usually use a 1 inch wide strip soldered on to the
joined foils and upward to the terminal.  Clamping is fine and use a
"Kearney" style lug connector (also called split bolt connector) to attach
the leads.
