You might have a slight issue with that set-up with regard to SVA. I did exactly the same and the short-arse examiner said he couldn't see the
display due to the steering wheel boss getting in the line of sight.
He said if it was raised it would have been okay (ie didn't seem to care about the steering wheel spokes occasionally obscuring).
