Abstract: A mounting bracket for a heat exchanger of the type defined by a core having tubes and fins assembled together. The mounting bracket is adapted to extend between a pair of spaced plates between which the core is disposed. A first securing mechanism is associated with a first end of the mounting bracket. It is adapted to cooperate with one of the plates for interlocked pivotal movement of the mounting bracket relative to the other of the plates. The first securing mechanism accommodates movement from a position where the second end of the mounting bracket is spaced from the other of the plates to a position where the second end of the mounting bracket is adjacent the other of the plates. A second securing mechanism is associated with a second end of the mounting bracket. It is adapted to cooperate with the other of the plates for locked engagement of the mounting bracket to the other of the plates.
