.040 bit is a #60. I cut a bunch of mounting plates out of 1/4 Masonite & drilled mounting holes and a hole for the wire. Then I drill a 5/16 hole through the roadbed. Have a 5/16X2" bolt with a wing nut that I use to hold the mounting plate in place while the glue drys. After the glue drys I use a 3/32' and an angle head drill to drill the mounting holes up into the roadbed. I then start 2 screws (#6X3/8 hex-head sheet metal screws) on the far side, place the unit then hold it in place with a small clamp and put in the other two screws.
