John,
Yes, the "pan bracket" was a clever low cost item.  You could replicate 
it with an aluminum cookie pan, and then a U bracket upside down for the 
attachment to the lip of the pan and to the underdash area.
Some folks prefer to tilt mount the Scout facing up on the transmission 
hump where you don't have a console part.  You can fashion a box of wood 
with a simple hold down to hold the Scout.  I have even seen use of 
Bungee cords around the radio, if you have holes drilled to have the 
feet set down and provide a slide free retention of the radio feet.   
The cords make a quick release to enable locking the rig in the trunk 
when the car is parked, or others use a towel to cover the radio so that 
it is out of sight.  A grey towel does not show dirt as much as a white 
towel would and worked for years for a ham friend.
