Go ahead and mount them on the edge with screws. Just use a good bedding  
compound to seal them.

Putting the chocks on the edge would be ideal but just  about impossible
without major work as you indicated. The chocks worked for  me where they 
are
shown but I did need to use some chafe guards on the rope  to avoid rubbing
on the edge. I attached about 1 foot of plastic tubing to  the lines with
plastic wire ties and that seemed to work well. It would be  nice if there
was a metal piece that might be attached to the edge but I  haven't seen
anything like that. Others may have better  ideas.

Thanks Graham. I  can easily use thru bolts in that position. I was thinking
that I had to  mount on the outer raised edge & the interior must be
disassembled to  create access to the bolts. As long as your position will
keep the pennants  clear of the forestay strap, I am good to do it there.
