Default Bravo flywheel housing 8 plate oil cooler mounting

Wondering if there is a way to mount an 8 plate Mercury racing style oil cooler to a bravo late model flywheel cover(upper) like CP/hardin offers? The 8 plate coolers have a 3 point mount, and I'm curious if it matches up to the holes found on late model flywheel covers( the three holes attach the factory power steering cooler.) Here is what I'm referencing.

You can fab up a step of bracket out of aluminum. That's my plan.

I'll probably use a piece of aluminum channel and do a step off mount. Appreciate the input guys!
