The screw is the same one that the braid to the coax connects to.  On the 
base of the antenna, just below the fiberglass insulator.   Above the 
fiberglass is the screw to which the center conductor of the coax and one 
end of the small matching coil attaches, and the screw below the fiberglass 
is where you attach the braid of the coax and the other end of the small 
matching coil.  This lower screw is  where you attach your radials and any 
other ground connection.

14 or even 16 ga. is fine.  Insulated should last longer, but buy whatever 
you can find cheap.    Even regular house wiring.  Just strip off the outer 
sheath, and inside you will have 3 wires, white and black insulated and one 
bare copper. Use  them  all and have fun. Even a 50 length of  3 conductor 
house wire will give you 6 25 ft radials.  A good start.
