That's what I was trying to find a mounting point for today - but the problem is anything on the hub ends up inside the line of the wheel, so it needs to bend back toward the car (like the main stays) to clear it and the tyre. If you take it off the current stay anchor point, you'd need to bend it so it goes into the wheel and then out again to clear the top wish bone:
