Abstract
In a radiator fastening arrangement for internal combustion engines with upper and/or lower brackets between body- and radiator-support places and elastic bearing elements between the brackets and the radiator-support places a cost-favorable, corrosion-secure and simply installable construction is provided in which the body support places consist of support surfaces, support edges and/or support apertures in body wall parts and/or body bearers and the brackets consist of one-piece plastic molded parts which elastically prestressed and detent-like connected in a three-point support with two body-support places each and a single radiator support place each. A socket-shaped mounting device for a buffer-shaped bearing element secured at the radiator is formed-on at the lower brackets. The two body support places at the brackets are matched to the shape of the support places for a positionally safe and detent-like engagement. The brackets are so matched with their three-point supports together with the elastic bearing elements that an elastic prestress is achieved during the engagement of the brackets in the body-support places. For achieving a predetermined prestress and/or for the compensation of body dimensional tolerances, two elastic support arms arranged at an angle to one another are formed-on at the upper brackets whose free ends are supported against one another adjustably by way of a toothed arrangement within the area of the body-support place.
