The adjustable mounting apparatus includes a positioner member having a spherically curved outer wall with an opening extending through it, a receiver having an outer surface complementary to the spherical wall of the positioner member so as to nestably interfit with it, a releasable locking member disposed behind the spherical wall of the positioner member, and an elongated connector extending from the receiver through the opening in the positioner member wall into engagement with the position-locking element in a manner permitting tightening and loosening of the two, whereby the positioner member and receiver may be moved relative to one another in a three-dimensionally orbital manner when the connector and locking element are loosened but clamped firmly in position when these two elements are tightened together. The positioner member is attachable to a desired external support such as an automobile dashboard, and the receiver is attachable to the brake controller or other such device. In a most preferred embodiment, the receiver is integral with the brake controller comprising a recess in the side of the controller closest to the mounting apparatus, such recess preferably being a spherically curved surface of complementary configuration to that of the positioner member wall so at to cooperatively interfit against the latter in a three-dimensionally slidable manner.
