Just drill 3 holes the size of the holes on the bracket and use the rubber grommets and bolt it directly in? Does anyone know if this would work? Thanks.

P.S. - Sorry about hijacking the thread, didn't want to start one and all my searches didn't come with anything like this.

That is generally how I mounted my Mallory, it's bolted to the back side of the bin. To cut down on the noise, I cut a 6x6x1/8" plate, drilled 2 holes through it and the bin and bolted the pump to it. The heavier steel cuts down on the vibrations. I inserted the bolts from the bin side and tack welded the heads to the plate so I didn't need a second set of hands to tighten things down.
