Vehicle radiator support structure

Abstract

A radiator mounting bracket assembly includes a mounting bracket and a vibration isolator. The vibration isolator is mounted within an opening formed in the bracket to engage a mounting pin which extends from an upper surface of a radiator. The mounting bracket is preferably formed of a non-metallic material such as glass-filled polypropylene and a plurality of ribs in the upper surface of the mounting bracket increase the structural rigidity thereof. The vibration isolator is a substantially annular member which receives the mounting pin while providing a pad section to engage the upper surface of the radiator. A rigid, yet vibration isolating retention is thereby achieved.
