Abstract (en)

A cowl 7 is attached to an automobile radiator by means of channel members 8,9 which fit over side pieces 5, 6 of the radiator. The cowl and channel members each have push-engage parts, lugs 10, 11 on one part and slots 12, 13 on the other part so that the cowl assembly can be push-engaged. A second set of slots 14, 15 is provided for fitment to a radiator of different size. The invention is particularly applicable for fitting to a range of radiator sizes, since it is merely necessary to provide channel members 8, 9 having lugs 10, 11 at different distances from the bottom of the channel members.
