Where is the best place to mount a knock sensor on the 1.6?

I want to mount a knock sensor to my 1.6. I have one on hand (one of two from a 2.8l Audi V6) that looks sort of like a really thick washer. It can be mounted with an 8mm bolt. I'm wondering where Mazda put the knock sensor on the later 1.8 engines and if I can mount the one I have in a similar location.
TIA

Knock Sensor MOUNT
Adaptor to allow a knock sensor to be attached to the engine block. Requires a hole with a 10x1.25 thread, such as the motor mount bolts. A 8x1.25 bolt will be required to fit the sensor to the mount (not included). May not be compatible with all knock sensors.
Included with our knock sensors.

Thanks but I don't think that helps me. I already have a sensor which only needs a bolt. I just need to decide where to mount it.
Ideally it mounts to the block itself somewhere between cylinders 2 and 3, but short of tapping a hole in the block I don't see any obvious way to do that. Hence my question about where Mazda mounted theirs.
