Steering wheel buttons, help needed.

Hi all,
As it's quiet here I thought I'd ask a question to try to generate some traffic.
After touring this year and realising that the TomTom takes up a lot of windscreen space (I can't see all the way up left hand hairpins), I thought I'd make a mount for it.
This is what I was thinking of it looking like

While thinking about the mount I also realised that it be nice to have a push to talk (PTT) button for the radio. So I went about CADing this up.

The idea is to fold the metal and the fold line in the pic above so that I have a place to stick the TomTom

Question is.
Do I need a little stress relieving circle where the wing of the button meets the fold of the TomTom holder bit?

Also do you think it would be better to fix the TomTom or have it move with the wheel.
Im getting the plate laser cut as I've had good results with lasermaster before (air filter back plate).
