[Boatanchors] Question

I'd use the sparkplugs that have the thread on cap, use nuts instead of 
the thread on cap that comes with the sparkplugs. Take some copper sheet 
and make a big ring terminal to go on the sparkplug where it screws into 
your ground block, solder the braid to this, use small ring lugs to 
connect the feedline center conductor to the top of the sparkplug.
