Because I'm in such a helpful mood, this is what I've used for stickin down the main unit to the top if the dash and the handset to the side of the instrument cluster

I have drilled my holes into a removable insert piece, like the Space for the Factory Diff Lock Switch.
For one, it doesn't look as bad when you come to sell it, and two, it should be cheap enough to buy the switch blank or pick one up from the wreckers.
Mic
Thats what I did too. It works great.
3M VHS double sided tape will hold it easily but when it comes time to remove it there's a good chance it will take some of your dash with it. The tape is actually to strong for most automotive uses but I love it. We use it at work but at $120 a roll you wouldn't buy it for one off stuff.
My new car came with two holes in the top of the dash where previous owner had a VHF radio mounted. Wasn't too happy about it but I don't think of it as that big a deal... bought a dash mat to cover it up.
I used an existing blanking area under the hazard switch thingy.
Works pretty good. I've knocked it a few times off road when real rough (annoying) but it goes back easy.
If you have a dash mat maybe you could use a flat piece of steel, 20mm x 1/2 or 1mm and make an arm that hooks to the front of the dash in the vents.
It can go under the mat and comes down over the front where your mic bracket would be attached.
Double sided tape, and the weight of the mic pulling, will hold it there forever. Mat will cover it up and no holes anywhere
