How to mount a Dearmond s grille pickup onto a Guild Starfire

jakeolly

Hi all
i have a lovely Newark Street Guild Starfire V with a famously underwound bridge pickup. I wondered about replacing  it with a vintage Dearmond s grille which i have 
The S grille has no mounting holes 
(I) can make a pickup mount either of wood or CNC a plastic one of the correct height, but i still need to fix the pickup to it, preferably without damaging the pickup base too much ( it has a lovely Rowe Industries 1964 stamp and label on it) 
Any suggestions as to how to do this
and
(ii)  should i put the dearmond in the neck position ( by swapping correctly wound neck to bridge position) or just slot it into bridge position ?

( i know the dearmonds are lively in bridge position but i have a vintage gold foil in neck  position of a strat and its glorious) 
advice sought, especially on how to mount it 
thanks

Would it be easier and/or better to have the original pickup rewound hotter?
