Sounds like a good application for a SteppIR?

Force-12 recommends putting a pop-rivet in, but NOT popping it. Just put it in
and
hold it in place with a turn of black electrical tape. When it comes time to
disassemble it, it goes really quickly!
The element to boom connection depends on what your antenna is. I'm guessing
that
a set of minimally tightened U-bolts would be most common.
