It came with my new Brassworks radiator. A metal shield, 4 rivets and 2 screws.

It is the two side brackets for the radiator shell.
Yup. Radiator mounting hardware.
That's actually two mounting brackets that are stacked one on top of the other.
They go on either side of your radiator. This is from Berg's site but you can see the mounting clips installed.

That's interesting. Never got that stuff with the last two Brassworks Brass radiators I got. Must be something new they're doing. Unless these are for a black rad, but then, my black one for the firetruck didn't come with those either.
Tim, these come with black radiators and often get lost in the packing.
Just a guess, but perhaps Brassworks has received enough requests from customers that are using other than the stock radiator shell and want those mounting clips left off. And because of that, they now include the clips unattached and let the customer decide whether or not to put them on. (???)
In Australia, those clips were only used on the tall radiators with the shell sides which were flared to follow the line of the hood. The low radiators did not have them.
