If you were in California, I'd invite you over for a glass of wine, and a ride in the valleys of Napa with our vettes.. You would love the journey for sure.. Thanks again,..
Thank you for your kind words and generous offer.
I lived in Encino many years ago. I still have some family out in the area.
I remember northern California being beautiful.

Best of luck on your project.

Yeah it is a bigger unit. Here is a picture that I got off the Internet.

You might have to use a thicker piece of sheet metal or one that has been hardened to prevent the weight of the unit from causing it to "bob" up and down.

HTH.

I would think that if you set the unit more forward you should not have any trouble. Again, when I closed the gap between the two "arms" it put more tension on the mount causing it to "grip" the dash firmer. I don't have any bobbing issues.

All you can do is try.
