You could use the original bolt holes on the inlet manifold except the rear one.
So mount it more foward only using one of the threaded holes on the inlet.
It depends if your going to keep the orignal coolant hoses. Otherwise you could mount it pretty much anywhere.
I was going to use some tufnol and make my own spacers so it mounts as close as the orignal postion, using both fixing points.
Ive still not fitted mine as I need some longer hoses to the rad.
