attach a metal plate to roof for antenna mag mount

[alze]

Hi Bongo-Fury fellows !

I'm looking for a way to attach a mag-mount antenna to my bongo, ideally on the roof, which presents the problem that it is plastic.

Are there any other fellow ham/cb operators who are /M and how they have attached a mag-mount to their bongo ?

I think the bonnet is too low/shallow an angle to have an antenna protruding out (with the potential to between 10-100W) so the safest area is the roof. I'm think some sort of 'bolt on' plate and an earth strap into the bongo.

Dont really want to use a gutter rail clamp as the antenna is designed for a mag-mount install.

Thanks in advance / 73's

Maybe a steel plate fixed to the AFT with a bolt into one of the existing threaded holes?

A countersunk machine screw would give a flat surface.

Sounds a great idea ! Had a look in the bongoland shop for bolts, but cant see.
Any idea what size/thread they are please ?
