Plug ELT antenna hole

I'm going to be installing the SuperTracks mod on my -7a slider. To do that I will have to move my ELT antenna aft about 10-12". What is the best way to plug the 1/2" hole where the antenna was mounted that's waterproof, not un-attractive, and easy (if those attributes are not mutually exclusive)?
 
2- A3235-028-193 tinnerman washers - one above, one below
1- AN507 C 10-32 screw
1- AN365-10/32 nut
& a dab of silicone sealer
 
Center Track Extension

The slider center track on top of the fuselage gets extended with the SuperTrack mod. That extension (and a bit of sealant) may be enough to cover your original ELT hole. Make sure the new antenna position is far enough back so maintenance removal of the slider is not hindered.
