For most of the same reasons you've cited, I decided I didn't need any
of the outside connections...They were trashed anyway.  On vacation in
Hawaii I bought a street sign that said Waikiki, which is made of
heavy gauge metal.  Lots of good caulk and a couple of sheet metal
screws and my three holes are covered up.  It goes with the "Tiki"
theme I have going with my '80 Vanagon Westfalia.
