A suggestion on your mount. Run gussets from the front edge back to the fire wall. With the amount of vibration an off-road toy will see it may end up cracking the firewall without the gussets. Also, grind large radiuses onto any corners contacting the sheet metal. Sharp corners or small radiuses will likely tear into the sheet metal.

Another reason to limit the movment of the bracket is, depending on how high on the firewall its mounted, it could start to seperate the dried out seam sealer in the cowl if it flexes a lot. Probably not as big of an issue where your at but up here that's an area that likes to rust out.
Thanks and Thanks for the heads up!
