id go with the setup you have in the first picture seems like it would be fine. Unless your worried your radiator would get to hot? But i think you would get enough flow to keep cool.

is vibration a problem with the fmoc

heres where iv decided to put it.
i can just run 4 bolts through the tabs on the fmoc into the radiator shield and use muffler clamps to steady the bottom tight


it souldnt cause to much trouble for a tall radiator?
since its actually smak bang in the middle

I will go with the first or 3rd pix. Thats how GSL-SE OC's are mounted.

if you have it mounted like in the last pix, cooling takes begin in the middle of radiator since heat rises. So you dont want it there.

Since you have to get custom OC lines, then why not in front of the bar.

well after lookin at what i have tool wise and metal i had lting around heres what i did yes i know its not straight i have another pair to make for best aligment i think there should be enough air flow since ill have a electric fan..

what ya think the way its mounted its very study and the way the bracket are angled keeps it in the center
ohh and i will make the bracket look the same to it was just an error testing moment
