I made a real nice mount for the column on my Bonanza. Used a piece of teak wood, band sawed it out and sanded it, painted it flat black and it really looks professionally made. With a star washer in the right place it even clicks when adjusted. Clamps with a 2" hose clamp on the column. Perfect positioning and doesn't block any of the panel. Surprised no one makes a mount to replace the suction cup.
