Pool Bonding Grid

[eljefetaco]

What do you do if solid bonding jumper for motor was cut and doesn't reach. I can reach the pool panel can I use the equipment grounding bar as a means of extending the grid. Same thing happened with the heater. I no longer have enough solid copper to bond them to the grid. Short of cad welding the wire do I have and other options that meet code.

look at 680.26 (B)

B) Bonded Parts. The parts specified in 680.26(B)(1) through (B)(7) shall be bonded together using solid copper conductors, insulated covered, or bare, not smaller than 8 AWG or with rigid metal conduit of brass or other identified corrosion-resistant metal. Connections to bonded parts shall be made in accordance with 250.8. An 8 AWG or larger solid copper bonding conductor provided to reduce voltage gradients in the pool area shall not be required to be extended or attached to remote panelboards, service equipment, or electrodes.

I do not see where the # 8 can not be spliced per 250.8
