How to Mount Radio Backstrap?

   I just put a new sound system in my 1999 SN and I absolutely love my JL 650s and my Sony head unit!  The Sony has a CD player (like my old one) but the previous owner did not install the back metal strap that stabilizes the back of the radio.  I don’t want to screw directly into my dash pod, so I was  thinking of using Marine Tex, and adhering a piece of plywood to the bottom of the dash pod, and screwing the metal strap to that, then attaching it to back of the radio.  

I am looking for input on that methods or alternative methods you have used.  I reall didn’t want it lose in the back like the old one.  

Thanks!

Otto
