I saw in another thread where someone had stated that they made a mount that used the visor retainer holes. Or, you could find a shelf it and install it on that.

ill have to snap a pic of it, fab'd up a bracket to mount my CB above the rearview mirror, there are two pieces of sheet metal up there, i used short (1/2in) texx screws, and it worked just fine... ill snap a pic and try and post it up in a few

EDIT: cant get the photo to upload, ill run out in the morning and try and snap another photo thats smaller in size to upload
