Default Anode Holder

Hi everyone.
Merry Chrismas and Happy New Year to all platers and their families. Simple (hopefully) question: I go through quite a few zinc anodes with my 12 gallon Copy Cad setup, what would be a suitable material to make an anode holder. I just want to slide in a new anode when one is needed. Basically, the setup has to accept a new 4X8 zinc sheet with no drilling, thus ensuring that all of the anode is used. Would stainless be OK if submerged in solution as a conductor only? Thanks.
Andrew.

Anything on the 'anode' side of the tank MUST be made of anode material, otherwise it will sacrifice itself, just as the anode does. You will then contaminate the solution.
