Brent, I mucked around for a couple of hours one afternoon with a spare mirror and a magnet to see how dash placement would work (I have a 1.5" diameter thin steel disk glued close to the front and in the centre of the dash - PO's doing). I seem to remember being less than overwhelmed by the view that I achieved. Perhaps you can use some modelling clay (as a base) and a spare mirror to to same experiment?
