your not goosed, just rivet on a steel square, loads have done it for aerials and magnetic recovery beacons......but to be honest a mag mount isnt entirelt successful when laning gets knocked off too easily,

Yea I wouldnt get a mag mount. Seen many of them get busted/fall off whilst off roading. Get a sprung one and bolt it onto a roof bar/rack (if you've got one), or if like me you dont mind drilling holes to much just mount it thru the roof  :lol:, think the sprung ones are about £12 on fleabay, mines been given a hell of a battering and never broken  :clap:

I can vouch for those, my CB twig is bent in several places but the mount is still solid.
