I successfully mounted an 802 coupler to the front of one of my FP-7 units this evening. I took the shell off the frame and discovered that the factory mounted light is held in place by a 2-56 screw in a drilled and threaded hole just at the front of the frame. I dug out one of my coupler mounting blocks from AM for the Budd cars to try for thickness. The mounting block has a countersunk hole just off center (front to back) and two holes drilled for mounting 802's or similar. I used a longer screw to mount the block and reassembled the light fixture (although that will be history when I detail for DCC) using a nut to hold all tight. I then mounted the 802 with the back screw location cut off to allow for truck swing. I held the 802 flush with the rear of the mounting block and drilled new holes for the side screw mounts on the 802. Front truck has full swing without touching the coupler or pad. The front overhang looks right and the height is exact by the Kadee gauge.
