You should not consider any internal grounding method for lightning
protection. That MUST be done on each feed-line and rotor cable
outside of the structure. The purpose of connecting each piece of
equipment to a common point is to assure each piece is always at the
same voltage potential. My common point is my station power supply.
Do not rely on coax shield and connections for this purpose.

Hi
Are they not all ready bonded together with coax shield?
Might make some ground loops by adding straps.
Not your question think I would go with 1/4 holes and use washers with a
little antiox stuff on connections.
Lightning and AC grounding should be your goal.
Remember more than one ground rod on AC or Antenna ground rod should be bonded
together with a wire running outside of house.

I’m planning on buying some tinned copper grounding straps to tie together the
ground lugs on my equipment.
I have an Omni VII, Jupiter, 229 tuner. They all seem to have the same size
grounding bolt, but nowhere in the manuals can I find the size.
What size lug should be on the braids’ ends? 1/4” or 3/8” or something else?
