That won't be clever, that will be trolling RBR style

The drawing is clear, see red section 2:

I think the mayor regulation is the written rule:
20.3.4 When viewed from the side of the car, the entire camera (or dummy camera) in position 2 shown in Drawing 6 must lie within a box formed by two vertical lines 150mm and 450mm forward of the front wheel centre line and two horizontal lines 325mm and 525mm above the reference plane.
Any camera or camera housing fitted in the left hand position 2 shown in Drawing 6 must be mounted in order that its major axis where passing through the centre of the camera lens (or corresponding position for a camera housing) does not intersect any part of the car lying forward of the camera or camera housing.
This does not disallow them to enter the bodywork...so for me a solution with a 5cm sunk-in camera housing could be legal and would be hard to copy due to the crash test.
The wishbones are too high and too far behind and I do not think you can mount the standard camara housing in a wishbone without loosing too much stability.
Another thing is, that the rules do not state, that the cameras must be installed horizontal...maybe this is another possible solution.
