Hi all,

Might be a silly question, but I picked up a second-hand set of AI Hydra 32s to replace the four primes I had on my Reefer 250, and I'm wondering if the mounting configuration I've pictured below is acceptable...

There is a bit of moment on the set up, and it's held by just two clamps on the back glass which is only 12 mm... I'm wondering if the glass and clamps are strong enough.

Obviously I could remove the two smaller horizontal aluminium extrusions and clamp the uprights to the side glass, but wondering what everyone else's opinion is?

Side mount
Completely different and arguably better force vectors on the glass.
Also arguably, a cleaner look.

Of course that all depends if you can make a "c" type frame.
