Default Mount For Mobile Phone

1996 XJ Classic Up Country.

So, I want to mount my phone so it peeks over the dash and can record like a dashcam while it's in the cradle.

I'm wanting to use a Ram Mount X-Grip

I'm planning on mounting the ball in the empty panel to the right of the gauge panel and directly above the cigarette lighter.

If I properly size the holes, will machine screws work to mount the base? If not, what is the best way to get at the back of that panel?

Thanks

Why not use a windshield mount. I have one with the x grip and it works great. It can still be used to record without getting in the way.

I don't want anything blocking my view.

I would use self tappers instead of machine screws if you don't want to put nuts on the back.
