A radiator and shroud assembly including a generally planar radiator core 10 having a plurality of generally parallel tubes 12 interconnected by fins 14 with opposed ends defined by tanks 16 and joined by spaced sides 18 which are generally parallel to the tubes 12. Each of the sides 18 has at least one fastener receiving aperture 26 and mounting brackets 30, 32 abuts the side pieces 18 and have a truss-like configuration which is made fluid impervious by thin web 84. Fasteners 42 extend through core apertures 26 and aligned apertures 40 in the brackets 30, 32 to secure the brackets 30, 32 in essentially nominally sealed relation to the core 10. A fan shroud 50 is similarly mounted to the brackets 30, 32.
