Default Relocating engine mount bolt for clearance?

Im putting together a 60 size Sbach - and having trouble getting the right clearance between the cowl and spinner. So far Ive counter sunk the mount bolt that sits behind the carb, but wasnt enough. ive also tried rotation the carb, but wouldn't help either Would it be ok if I moved the mount bolt to where the blue tape is(see pic), and cut off the top 1/2" on the mount to make room for the carb? Would this cause any issues? This is the only bolt I would need to modify location on.

Thanks
