This is how I set up my last copper pipe gap. Each pipe just 'lays' on the alum. channel that's bolted down . no need for clamps.
To clean a pipe, just pick it up , clean, lay it back down. The small pieces you see laying between pipes are used to adjust the gaps. Two muffin fans in back to cool . This set up works well for long run times, for me.
