It will not all fit in that dip, I just got as much as I could in with some even spacing around the edges and the bottom to avoid any vibration rubs on the plastic bowl, floxed in a piece of aluminum angle to mount the pack to and (disclaimer) it has done fine for 35 hours of flight. Above the pack I relieved the bottom of the forward deck skin and applied a couple of bid over that area to insure no rub. There are some advantages to a forward location, one of which is you have less aluminum lines going aft of the spar and can re plumb a good portion of the system to take advantage of that simplification. There are no heat issues associated with the location and I would not imagine any would be found with any other forward installation.
