There is a 3/8" hole mount NMO type mount. It is not as secure and 
strong as the origional Motorola mount.
The 3/4 hole mount lets one feed a preassembled PL-259 thru the hole.
I have used them ever since they came out.
I remember a Motorola rep at a trade show telling they wanted a mount 
that the antenna could be removed and run thru a car wash with out problems.
I use them on everything I have ever had.
