Paul,
Would like your opinion on making the rear mount as mocked up in the
attached photo, Using a shoulder bolt to attach it right to the housing, and
extending the single support down to the firewall.

I have been uncomfortable with the idea of attaching it to the aluminum
casting

That is a good idea Bill. Those 13B 12 MM accessory mounting studs are bullet proof.
I assume you are using a right and left hand thread 1/2 inch rubber ball joint. 
Does it clear your nose gear strut? Looks like it will. You might need a thin 
steel sleeve around the 12 MM .472" dia. bolts. I like it. Nice and simple.
