Default Antenna connectors for HTs

Many of the older HTs like the Motorola HT220s and the Bendix-King sets
have simple screw-in studs for the antenna connections. Is there _any_ way
to adapt these for a BNC connector without major surgery? I could readily
make a connector that screws into the antenna mount and has a BNC on the other
side, but where does the ground come from? Did anyone ever made a commercial
solution for this? Is an HT220 really a boatanchor? Have you ever had to
carry one cross-country?
