  • Publication number: 20060213639
    Abstract: A radiator core support structure comprises a radiator core support and a heat exchanger. The former has a through-hole, and a fixing hole on its the lower portion. The latter has a pipe projecting rearward and introduceable in the through-hole and a lower mounting pin projecting downward from its bottom portion. The fixing hole is formed as an elongate hole extending toward the front side so that the pipe can be kept free from an interference between the pipe and the radiator core support when the lower mounting pin is inserted in a front side of the fixing hole and the heat exchanger is turned rearward around the front side of the fixing hole to stand erect. Then, the fixing hole allows the mounting pin to be slid rearward for introducing the pipe through the through-hole.
