I like matt's idea of putting it under the seat pan though and
might consider that if you can remotely mount the flarm antenna.

I'm not following what antenna you are talking about, but you need the
Flarm A antenna up front on the glider, really preferably top side on
the glareshield area to provide forward and upward visibility to threat
aircraft. I think its the optional Flarm B antenna that Matt was talking
about and that is intended to be mounted underneath the fuselage to
provide improved range/coverage.

There may be proximity issues with under-mounted transponders antennas
and an external Flarm B/aux antenna. I certainly plan doing some playing
before drilling holes for that antenna.

I would make no assumptions about how any Flarm antennas are mounted on
what box or via what type of coax until Flarm makes an announcement
and/or has FCC approval.
