It's fine to mount it onto the radiator, that's what the little pads are for, to protect it from transferring heat somewhat. But don't worry about it, mounting it on the Radiator will be fine.

So you mount it to the condensor... but you're scared of mounting it to the rad? The condensor gets smokin hot too... mount it where ever you want. I'd just mount it to the rad personally
