Abstract
A support structure for supporting a conduit of an engine includes a bracket assembly having a platform, a pair of brackets, and a pair of fixtures. The platform supports the conduit. Each bracket includes a first lateral post coupled to the platform, a second lateral post coupled to an engine block, a first longitudinal post, and a second longitudinal post. Also, a lateral distance between the first longitudinal post and the second longitudinal post increases in a direction away from the first lateral post towards the second lateral post. Each bracket also includes a stiffener connecting the first longitudinal post and the second longitudinal post. Each fixture includes a pair of legs and couples the platform to an engine head. Further, each fixture includes a web structure having a central portion and a plurality of stems connecting to the pair of legs.
