However I still need help on nomenclature. The ground strut is the
horizontal 1.5 in wide piece shown at the bottom of your drawing. Is that
correct?
Yes. Your position light wires route up the foreward blade
of the antenna and then aft to the light fixture location.

I was wondering about how Mr. Archer played into this situation. I, too,
have some level of discomfort simply copying his design, and I believe that
this antenna is available for < $100. At that price, it hardly pays to
do-it-yourself except as an educational exercise.
You got it! If you were going to build and sell
these, I suspect he might be miffed. If you were
to design and sell a better one, that's the nature
of free market competition. But if you can make this
a learning experience, I'm sure he's good with
that.
Also, I'm interested in connecting a coax connector directly to the antenna.
Do you feel comfortable elaborating on that topic?
