Your mounts make me very jealous.

In a standard vertical configuration with the air entering perpendicular to the heat exchanger I would 100% agree with you. In this configuration I'm using the condenser basically as a splitter. I don't really care if I lose some efficiency of the condenser. I wanted to maximize the cooling by moving that heat source as far as possible from the radiator. I haven't had functional AC in the FD since I've owned it so anything will be an improvement in that regard
Thankfully the FD has a great setup for oil coolers so that won't be an issue
Fabricating those mounts was easy. As I'm sure you know it's the planning and forethought that takes FOREVER! That being said I'm definitely really happy with how they turned out. It was one of those times where the plan actually came together with reality. They would be even sexier if someone hadn't forgot to bring the dimple die kit
