Can the finderscope of a telescope be mounted on the tube box rather than the tube itself?

I built a dobsonian telescope and I want to attach a finderscope to it. I know that usually finderscopes are attached to the tube, but I was wondering if I could attach it to the top of the tube box instead as I want to avoid drilling holes into the telescope tube. Everything is in great alignment and precision, so there’s nothing to worry about there. I would just like opinion on where to mount the finderscope. Thanks!
