Folks, Sorry to weigh in on this so late, but I found the nifty PL 259 chassis connector (on the right in the photo) at Radio Shack during a parts run on Friday. Part number is 278-0201. I already had a BNC cable so I bought an adapter (PN 278-121), too.

I guess I'm disconnected from the thread. How are
you using these parts?

Bob, I'm going to solder a piece of 3/32" brazing rod into the center lug of the PL 259 chassis mount (the lug is drilled out to let it slip in for a good mechanical attachment once the soldering is done), trim to appropriate length and use it as an antenna for my hand held.

Once you get the piece of brazing rod soldered in, and it cools down, you might want to pack that area around the base of the antenna full of RTV to help make it watertight.

Okay, figure out a way to substantially beef up support
of the rod right and for about 1" away from the solder
joint. If allowed to "wave in be breeze" it's going
break at the solder joint and depart the airplane . . .
if I recall your airplane configuration correctly,
there may be risk of putting that piece of wire through the prop?
A piece of Delrin, polycarbonate, etc cut drilled and
mounted to supply support is recommended.
