Quick question about CB antenna ground

[Dom8706]

Getting everything together for my CB in the ash tray install. Going to use the Uniden pro520xl to FireStik MU8R18 to FireStik K4r stud to FireStik SS3H spring to FireStik 5 foot tunable antenna. While using this rear antenna mount.

From what I gather with this kind of a set up the ground is the mount going to the body. Now can I add another ground to it just to make sure there are no ground issues? If so, is there a place within the stud where I can add a braided ground wire without it touching the hot? Or would I have to add the ground wire to the mount and then to a body ground?

Ideally I'd like to just use a wire as ground not the mount so I don't have to sand down the powder coat in certain spots. Thank you.

I'd use existing radio ground, create a new one to steering shaft (bolts all over) or if feeling spicy go all the way to the battery....choices choices.....

Sorry I should of specified I meant the ground for the antenna which I heard is needed for low SWR. The radio ground I was just going to take to my accessories fuse box.
