My new rig's 1198 on the bow will be done similar but without the metal strip. I do not like the way the console is done, that peace of plastic they have that 1198 mounted to(unless there is reenforcement behind it) is not made to hold that kind of weight, shocks or no shocks, why mine is being mounted on the side between the shifter and console. The idea is the same tho, units can be removed easily for security reasons.
What it amounts to; if you can think of it; Phoenix will probably mount it that way for you.
