Radiator Bracket With Integrated Hood Pin Receptacle

Abstract

A radiator mounting bracket (100) is fabricated providing a body (102) having a plurality of frame mounting apertures (104) disposed upon a frame mounting section (116) of the body (102), a radiator mounting aperture (106) disposed upon a radiator mounting section (118) of the body (102), and a hood pin receiving aperture (110) disposed between the frame mounting apertures (104) and the radiator mounting aperture (106). A peripheral edge of the radiator mounting aperture (106) can be chamfered (108). A plurality of weight reducing stylization apertures (120) can be incorporated within the body 102). An embossment (114) is disposed about the hood pin receiving aperture (110) upon an upper surface (140) of the body (102). A hood pin (130) is assembled to the bracket (100) via threading (112, 136).
