Vehicle and method of mounting a radiator in the vehicle

摘要

A method of mounting a radiator 10 onto a support member 16 in a vehicle 12 comprises the steps of securing to the radiator 10 a resilient mounting bush 66 having a first annular groove 68 in its outer surface, providing a second annular groove in the inner surface of a radiator mounting bore 52 formed in the support member 16, positioning a spring clip 74 in one of the two annular grooves and inserting the bush 66 into the bore 52, the spring clip 74 being compressed radially during insertion of the bush 66 into the bore 52 and being released when the annular grooves are axially aligned with one another to lock the bush 66 within the bore 52.
