etc. Search for "electric fence insulators".

If you want to be really creative, you could just build a spacer from
ABS or PVC pipe, using a flange mount at one end, and a hole drilled
in the pipe to support the wire. Maybe a plastic "T" at the end to
support both wires on one insulator. Be creative.

No ground required for a balanced system. However, methinks it's a
good idea to ground the radio and the antenna tuner case.
