on a custom overhead "T" running from side to side and from the middle to the sound bar. About the only pic I have of it right now.

I mounted mine beside the console on the passenger side. Used the stock torx bolt that was there and fashioned a bracket to attach the CB mounting bracket to that holds secure. No movement, didn't have to drill any holes into the interior and no real impact on leg room on the pass side.
The mic holder is a homemade piece made out of steel plate that attaches behind the radio panel, keeps the mic within easy reach and out of the way as well.

Mine is in my center console. It fit with a right angle adapter for the mic and the antenna.

I mounted mine under the steering wheel. The bottom part of the dash pops out, and I just slid it int here. Looks pretty good!

just realized that pictures 2 and 3 are using the proto type mount but you get the idea.

In retrospect, I should have done it on the center console where the torx bolt is on the drivers side near the right leg.
