Abstract
A bracket assembly configured to mount an engine component to the vehicle body is provided. The bracket assembly includes a first body bracket, a second body bracket, a rod and a third body bracket. The first body bracket is configured to hold the component. The second and third body brackets are both configured to attach to the structure within the engine compartment. The rod may be dimensioned so as to place the third body bracket in a desired spatial orientation with respect to the first and second body brackets. Accordingly, the bracket assembly is operable to accommodate two of the same components within the engine compartment by allowing the components to be in different spatial relationships relative to the engine compartment.
