1. A device for grounding a conductive flange to a metallic ground plane, comprising:

  • a top plate;

    a pair of spaced apart magnet assemblies secured to a first side of the top plate;

    a bar; and

    mounting structure securing said bar to said top plate between said pair of magnet assemblies, wherein said mounting structure is effective to provide a force which yieldably biases said bar away from said top plate first side;

    wherein the device is adapted to be placed so that the bar overlies the flange and the pair of magnet assemblies contact the ground plane while straddling the flange;

    whereby magnetic attraction holds the device to the ground plane and the force applied to the bar by the mounting structure maintains the flange in conductive engagement with the ground plane.
