Type 25 Radiator Bracket (Lower Left)

This brand new replacement lower left radiator bracket is designed for use on all Volkswagen Type 25 / T3 Transporter models from the start to the end of production. It forms part of the radiator mounting system and is responsible for securely supporting and correctly positioning the radiator within the front panel of the vehicle.

The radiator brackets play a vital role in maintaining correct radiator alignment. They prevent unwanted movement caused by vibration, road shock, and engine operation, ensuring that coolant hoses remain stress-free and that airflow through the radiator is unobstructed. A damaged, corroded, or missing bracket can allow the radiator to shift, potentially leading to hose fatigue, coolant leaks, or reduced cooling efficiency.

Manufactured to original factory dimensions, this lower left bracket provides a precise fit and is ideal for restorations, accident repairs, or replacing rusted original hardware. Suitable for both petrol (1.6–2.1) and diesel models, it installs directly in the original mounting position with no modification required.

How it works

The lower radiator brackets support the base of the radiator, holding it securely in position while allowing controlled isolation from vibration. This ensures consistent airflow and protects the radiator core from stress and damage during normal driving.
