Front and rear outward projecting walls of a third member are cut away at the longitudinal opposite ends. The third member has protrusions provided at the longitudinal opposite ends of each of the front and rear side walls. Each protrusion is overlappingly located on the inner side of the corresponding protrusion of the first member, and is brazed thereto. Each engagement claw of each end member has a first portion brazed to the outer surface of the corresponding protrusion of the first member, and a second portion bent inward in the front-rear direction such that it engages with the corresponding protrusion, and its distal end is located inward of the outer surface.
