In a mounting arrangement for supporting a radiator in a motor vehicle the radiator is pivotally supported by a first pair of pins extending from its narrow side while a second pair of pins which is spaced from the first pair of pins is engaged by flexible holding members locating the radiator in a predetermined installation position but permitting the radiator to yield when subjected to impact forces thereby to void damage to the radiator.

Mounting arrangement for a radiator

The invention relates to a radiator mounting for motor vehicles, in which the radiator rests against a respective corresponding support fixed to a vehicle by at least one bearing support fixed to the radiator. The radiator is supported elastically and adjustably via at least one further bearing fixed to the vehicle. The bearing fixed to the radiator consists of a hollow mounting pin which can be inserted into an opening of the bearing fixed to the vehicle and receives a mounting element which bears a compensating plate held such that its position can be varied relative to said element.
