Ben,
Just be sure they are higher than your master cylinders. Most mount them in front of the driver's side foot box.

IMG_0624.JPG mine are mounted on a bracket just in front of DS footbox. Just keep in mind they need to be out past the body
Also, design some sturdy bracket. I used some left over sheet metal, but is was flimsy while driving. Ended up installing two straps to make more ridged.

I took the easy route for a bracket and just ordered steel sheet from McMaster Carr. Low-carbon steel sheet with decarb-free surface, 4"x4"x3/32". Plenty stiff even without gussets. Machine your holes, clean it up, coat to your preference. This size is just right for two of the FF-provided silver reservoirs, mounted forward of the driver's footbox.
