What you may want to consider is a type N pigtail terminated with the
correct size of ring terminal. Add a wire mesh grip strain relief and
you'd have a pretty solid installation.
Alternatively you could mount a type N chassis connector to an angle
bracket and wire the center pin to a plain 3/8 24 stud insulated
stud.
