I have lots if you need a few. I just drill a hole in the board and screw them down with a connecting lug under the screw. If you need to remove the boards for modifications you only have to lift the mating connectors off the lugs. You would need 1/4" female connectors to use with them and again there are tons of places on ebay that offer them at reasonable prices often with free shipping. Here is just one example of a connector with free shipping. They come in different sizes and with or without insulation. I keep a supply of male and female in different sizes both insulated and not on hand as they are always in use:

Or visit your local auto parts store. They will have a good selection in small quantities.
Even Walmart. First thing I did was buy a pack and some cheap speaker wire.
Got tons of wire ties to secure everything. I just don't have any type of mounting board.
