I've taken this plain looking antenna mount and added a bit of titanium mojo to it.

Awhile back I came across the Associated 27128 aluminum servo washers... hmmm, kinda cool, 8 bucks or so. Following a Google look/see I found more of that type of part. Different colors and a few manufacturers to boot. All looked very similar. So, who's copying who?
I wanted some for my B1M build so I go at it with a piece of 1/4" titanium rod and make my own. As not to copy anybody...

OK...
I made two plugs for the holes in the top of a motor plate today from aluminum. Still have to make the washers to screw everything together (4-40 fhcs).

Yes, you can get picky with your washers...

Very nice! And the grooves will add surface area to enhance heat dissipation.

It's what I do
OK, got them done, just need to do a bit of touch up.
I'm using some AE red shock o-rings on the turned thumbscrews. I turned down some 1/8" standoffs to .166" so the lipo battery would slid between them on the chassis plate. There were already holes in the plate, I didn't want to drill more so adapt, overcome!

Wow, that was quick. Looks great!

I'd probably knurl or somehow texture those thumbscrews...if they got on too tight, you wouldn't be able to get a grip and would probably have to use a pliers or something to loosen them.
For a shelfer, it wouldn't matter, of course.
