After all, the stock location for the satellite radio antenna is in the instrument binnacle, and I've had my Garmin GPS under the roof and functioning perfectly...

I did tap into the aluminum extrusion for all brackets. Small holes well placed.
Regarding the antenna location, I spoke with lots of racers who had every kind of antenna install you could imagine (on many types of cars). Common comment was if the antenna is on the roof you won't loose the signal. Any other location had some type of signal problem somewhere on the track.
