Default Superchargers/compressors & Ford Fiesta's

I have bought a small supercharger from the net, great value and decent enough of a gain, the manufacturers quote that you are able to use them with stock internals, and they have a 5-15psi boost capacity.​



I would like to attempt to diy fit the amr 500 on the, offside, rear of the engine, above and behind the crank. There is an extra crank pully that would have driven a power steering pump if it was sited there. This model does not have this pump and there is a space, sizely, enough to mount the charger.​

My question is, I need to create a bracket from some alu, or steel flat bars, and, of course, fix it to the car. Is there any special, load bearing, areas where the brackets could be fixed to that were strong enough to withhold the tensions of a working supercharger.​​
I have created a mock up of the position I was thinking of mounting the Amr500 in. Would the areas marked with a question mark be viable places to secure the mounting frame to?​

Any opinions, experience, or comments would be very welcome.​
