Why not use adhesive to mount a steel plate to the top-dead-center of your Avion, then mount (mag or permanent) your tarheel to the plate. All that aluminium ground plane sure would be a waste otherwise. Surely you could improvise a flat braid electrical ground somehow-- maybe you could ground the antenna to the vent and the vent to the chassis.
