FLT 240 mounting bracket

All, quick question: can an FLT240 reservoir be mounted (via the mounting bracket) onto / through a 120mm fan and then onto the radiator? Or does it need to go direct to the radiator? Can’t find anything conclusive on the net. But, looks like it should be possible with careful selection of screws. Thanks all.

Yes it can but its fiddly, put screws through the mounting bracket on the res first then through the fan and radiator. Tricky part is aligning it up and then using an allen key to tighten it up.

Will take some patience but doable.

yeah it's doable, just make sure to get the right size screws by measuring the thickness of each part.. so 5mm typically for radiator plus 25mm for fan and maybe another 5mm for the bracket = M4x35mm screw unless you are using XSPC type rads which uses the 6-32 UNC type screws, get a 35mm ish for that. If screws still too long, add a couple of washers to space them out.

Thanks guys. Any issues with vibration isolation with this reservoir and particularly with the mounting solutions this uses?

Nope not had any issues with vibration, if you're really anal you can use rubber orings between the mount and the rad to dampen it abit. Most of the noise in my setup comes from the D5 pumps as they buzz away.
