#CMT# #/CMT# The vehicle front end frame (10) includes one or more assembly components (18) made from reinforced plastic with projections (20, 24, 28) shaped to engage with the open ends of two or more of the frame's structural elements (12, 14, 16). The joint between the assembly components and structural members can form a force fit, or be completed by a mechanical fixing or adhesive. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Vehicle front end frame designed to hold equipment such a headlights, indicators, horn, heat exchanger, fan or cooler. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The assembly components make for ease of assembly to produce a rigid structure that can have a wide range of shapes and sizes. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows an exploded front view of the front end frame. 10 : End frame 12, 14, 16 : Structural elements 18 : Assembly components 20, 24, 28 : End projections #CMT#POLYMERS : #/CMT# The assembly components are made from a polyamide or polypropylene reinforced with glass fibers.
