[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 530570, member: 28452"] The one with the clamps below the service valves looks to me that you don't need to disturb the bonding clamps at all. The other one I would be inclined to buy two new clamps and fit them exactly as the old ones are, probably on a new bit of copper pipe as well; (much easier than messing about cleaning old pipe and fittings for re-use). There is nothing to be frightened of in refitting those; it's probably the simplest part of the job. Plumbing hint: When fitting new service valves make sure that the ring on existing/re-used pipe seats properly into the valve. The recess depth on a lot of modern valves isn't as deep as old ones.
