Truck Engine Brackets & Mounting Hardware

In this category you will find used OEM engine brackets and mounting hardware for heavy trucks – the cast and fabricated supports that hold the engine and ancillaries firmly in place. Every bracket is removed from running donor vehicles, visually inspected and listed with clear photos and OEM references so your workshop can match the part with confidence.

What kind of engine brackets are in this category?

The Engine Brackets section focuses on hardware that supports the engine block and its bolt-on components. Typical items include:

• main engine support brackets that connect the engine block to crossmembers or chassis rails;
• mounting brackets for alternators, A/C compressors, power steering pumps and air compressors;
• support brackets for turbochargers, exhaust manifolds and EGR coolers;
• brackets for belt tensioners, idlers and front-end accessory drives;
• ancillary mounting plates and small structural brackets specific to each engine family.

Complete engine assemblies are listed separately in the Complete Engines category, while rubber mounts and main engine mounting bushes are in Motor Mounts .

Truck brands and donor vehicles

Most brackets come from modern European HGVs such as DAF CF/XF, MAN TGX/TGS, Volvo FH/FM, Scania R/S and Mercedes-Benz Actros and Atego – the same fleet trucks listed on the Trucks We Dismantle page. Donor vehicles are dismantled in Essex, UK, and the store focuses on tested OEM parts rather than cheap pattern alternatives.

Wherever possible, each listing includes OEM / OE part numbers and donor truck details so you can match brackets by engine code, gearbox type and chassis layout instead of guessing by photos alone.

Why choose used OEM engine brackets from VRA Truckparts?

VRA Truckparts specialises in supplying tested OEM HGV spares from carefully selected donor trucks, following a structured dismantling and inspection process described on the Our Dismantling & Quality Process page.

• Brackets are removed by experienced staff during planned dismantling, not cut from scrap vehicles.
• Each part is checked for cracks, distortion and excessive wear before being added to stock.
• Only usable components are listed – suspect items are kept for cores or recycling.
• Product photos show the actual bracket you will receive, including casting numbers and mounting faces.

Checking compatibility with your engine

To reduce downtime and avoid ordering the wrong bracket, use the guidance from the How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy pages. When you enquire, have these details ready:

• truck registration and full VIN;
• engine type and code (e.g. DAF MX-13, Volvo D13K, MAN D26, Mercedes OM471);
• any existing OEM or casting numbers from your old bracket.

With this information the VRA team can cross-check stock items against your engine and advise whether a bracket from another donor truck will fit.
