Thanks for all your suggestions, it looks as if the best grounding solution is to just clean the frame and bolt to that, unfortunately the frames were originally galvanised would this cause a problem as I was just going to power wire brush the frame areas that I wanted to make the connections to, should I remove all the galvanizing i.e grind the area instead.
I was thinking of tinning the copper strap once it was bent to the correct shape? Is this the best thing to do? Would it be worth were I will be connecting the copper to the steel put some grease or high conductive paste to stop the steel corroding under the strap?
Plumper: I don’t think it would look particularly nice putting the tuner up the mizzen mast, wouldn’t the aerial work better in the vertical plane than the horizontal plane?
Thekeip: what’s the thinking behind the non-silicon sealer?
Thanks everyone for your input, does anyone have any ideas with regard to the aerial?
Best wishes
Michael
