Abstract
A brazed engine cooling radiator for a motor vehicle comprises a row of flat tubes arranged in a bundle alternately with cooling fins, with a structural member extending along one end of the bundle. A support member, for carrying an accessory, is in the form of a saddle which straddles the structural member. The back portion of the saddle has press formed tongues which co-operate with ribs of the structural member so as to guide the support member longitudinally. The side edges of the support member have teeth which are upset under the structural member so as to immobilise the latter. The teeth deform portions of the endmost cooling fin that lies between the base of the structural member and the adjacent tube. This support member is less costly to make and fit. It is fitted by seaming after the radiator has been brazed.
