I don't really believe the mounting point is that critical. Some of them fail regardless of where you put them. I had one on the left inner fender panel of my truck for about 10 years (then I sold it), I've had one on the firewall of my '64 GTO since about 1980, and I have one in the glove box of my racecar. I had a transistor die on the one in the racecar, but it was an infant mortality failure (early life failure).
