Would make sense, less in the way, and they are quite low down.

Easy to see, hard to get at from top.

  hi repalced mine 2 weeks ago it is at the back of the engine on the drivers side it  was hard to see on mine as the pipes where over the top of it. i did mine from the top. by removing header tank to give me room be aware of the pipe that runs from the clutch cylinder as that is a plasstic pipe and you will not want to break it ,
