Another way I've seen people do it. You can drill a small pilot hole where the belly hook will go then use a L shaped piece of wood (with squared sides) with a hole in each limb of the L. Screw the plug on through the long limb, then center the tail by screwing into the wire hole through the short limb. Use a piece of aluminum angle stock and cut your slope and lip shape into it. Use it to mark the plug blank while in the jig and take it to the band saw and cut it all. Clean up on the sander, and enlarge the screw hole in the belly to grommet size. Credit to Eddy for this one.
