The Shacman X5000 Front Grille Lock Right Mounting Bracket Assembly is an original equipment bracket set that secures the right side grille lock mechanism on Shacman X5000 heavy trucks. This assembly ensures the front grille closes firmly, prevents rattling, and maintains perfect alignment of the locking latch. The Shacman X5000 Front Grille Lock Right Mounting Bracket Assembly kit includes the main bracket (Front Grille Lock Right Mounting) and three welding square nuts for robust attachment. Every component meets stringent OEM specifications for a direct, no‑modification replacement.
This Shacman X5000 Front Grille Lock Right Mounting Bracket Assembly stamped steel bracket is the structural foundation for the right grille lock. It Shacman X5000 Front Grille Lock Right Mounting Bracket Assembly bolts directly to the front cover body sub‑assembly and receives the lock cylinder or latch mechanism. Precision‑formed with three 6mm threaded holes (accepting the included welding square nuts), the bracket ensures that the lock aligns perfectly with the grille’s strike plate. The Shacman X5000 Front Grille Lock Right Mounting Bracket Assembly bracket is zinc‑plated for corrosion resistance (720h salt spray) and features reinforcement ribs to prevent flexing during latch engagement.
Replacing Shacman X5000 Front Grille Lock Right Mounting Bracket Assembly a worn or bent right bracket restores a solid, consistent latching feel – eliminating the common problem of a grille that pops open or fails to close securely. The Shacman X5000 Front Grille Lock Right Mounting Bracket Assembly bracket is a mirror image of the left side (DZ14251110535) and is not interchangeable.
Three Shacman X5000 Front Grille Lock Right Mounting Bracket Assembly square nuts are supplied, each designed to be welded into the bracket’s stamped recesses (or used as cage nuts). The nut is M6 thread pitch, with a low‑profile square body that prevents rotation when torqued. Made from cold‑formed steel with a bright zinc finish, these nuts provide strong, reusable threads for attaching the lock mechanism. The square shape fits snugly into the bracket’s punched holes, eliminating the need for additional washers or lock washers.
If the original nuts are stripped or missing, these welding square nuts restore the bracket’s functionality without requiring replacement of the entire bracket. They can also be used as standard flange nuts in other applications.

M6 x 1.0, class 8The bracket (DZ14251110536) is a complex stamped component with three integrated recesses for the square nuts. The nut recesses are designed to hold the nuts captive during assembly, preventing them from falling out while the lock mechanism is installed. The bracket also features two locating tabs that engage with slots in the front cover body, ensuring correct vertical and horizontal alignment before bolts are tightened. This self‑fixturing design reduces installation time and eliminates guesswork. A raised rib along the bracket’s spine increases stiffness, preventing the bracket from flexing when the grille lock is engaged. This is critical to maintain consistent latch engagement over millions of open/close cycles.
The Q37106 square nut is made from low‑carbon steel (C10C) and cold‑formed to precise dimensions: 12mm x 12mm square, 4mm thick, with an M6 thread. The thread is roll‑formed for strength and accuracy. The nut can be spot‑welded into the bracket’s recesses using a resistance welder, or simply used as a press‑fit nut. In the Shacman assembly, these nuts are welded at the factory, but they can also be used as standard flange nuts for other repairs. When used as a replacement, the nut’s square profile prevents rotation, allowing a single wrench to tighten the lock mounting bolt without needing a backup wrench.
Step 1: Open the front grille and locate the right mounting bracket. It is attached to the front cover body behind the grille lock cylinder.
Step 2: Remove the three bolts securing the lock mechanism to the bracket. If the nuts are stripped, use pliers to hold them while unscrewing.
Step 3: Remove the bracket by unscrewing its two attachment bolts (usually M8) from the front cover body. Discard the old bracket and any damaged nuts.
Step 4: If using new welding square nuts, position them in the bracket’s recesses. If you have a spot welder, weld them; otherwise, they will be held captive when the lock is tightened.
Step 5: Install the new bracket onto the front cover body using the two M8 bolts. Torque to 18 Nm. Ensure the locating tabs engage fully.
Step 6: Reattach the lock mechanism using three M6 bolts (not included, reuse original or order separately). Torque to 10 Nm.
Step 7: Close the grille and test the latch operation. Adjust the lock strike if necessary (not part of this kit).
This right mounting bracket assembly is designed specifically for Shacman X5000 series trucks (all years 2018‑2026). It is also compatible with certain X3000 models that use the same front grille lock architecture, but verification of bolt hole spacing is recommended. The bracket replaces original part numbers DZ14251110532 (old style) and 81.97470.0126. The welding square nuts supersede Q37106A and are identical to those used in many Shacman front panel assemblies. For the left side, order the corresponding left mounting bracket assembly (DZ14251110535). This right side kit is not interchangeable with the left side due to mirror‑image geometry.
Prevent grille‑opening incidents: A failing right bracket is a common cause of the front grille unlatching at highway speeds. Replacing it prevents dangerous hood‑like opening and cab damage.
Reduce wind noise and water ingress: A misaligned grille due to a bent bracket creates air leaks and allows rainwater into the engine bay. This kit restores the factory seal.
Simple inventory: One kit covers both bracket and nuts – no need to stock separate hardware. Quick swap keeps trucks on the road.
Global availability: Stocked in regional warehouses. Same‑day dispatch for urgent repairs; volume discounts for fleets ordering 10+ kits.
Independent testing confirmed the bracket can withstand 800N of pull force from the lock latch without permanent deformation. The zinc plating showed no red rust after 720 hours of salt spray exposure. The welding square nuts maintained thread integrity after 20 installation cycles with a torque of 10 Nm. The square profile prevented spinning even when the bracket’s weld recess was slightly enlarged.
Do I need to weld the square nuts? – No, welding is not required for the kit to function. The nuts are held captive by the bracket’s recesses and the lock mechanism’s bolts. Welding is only for original factory assembly.
Can I use this bracket on the left side? – No, the right and left brackets are mirror images. Order the left side kit separately (DZ14251110535).
Are the mounting bolts included? – The kit includes the bracket and three square nuts, but not the lock attachment bolts or the bracket‑to‑body bolts. Reuse the original bolts or order M6x20 and M8x25 separately.
What if the front cover body’s threaded holes are stripped? – Use the included welding square nuts as cage nuts. Drill out the old threads and insert a square nut, then tighten the bolt normally.
What is the warranty coverage? – 24 months against cracking, bending, or corrosion. Welding square nuts are warranted against thread stripping for 12 months.
The Shacman X5000 Front Grille Lock Right Mounting Bracket Assembly complies with EU ELV Directive 2000/53/EC and RoHS 2011/65/EU. The zinc plating uses trivalent chromium (no hexavalent chromium). The steel is 100% recyclable, and the cardboard packaging uses 90% recycled content. The welding square nuts are free from cadmium and lead, meeting REACH standards. At end‑of‑life, the bracket and nuts can be recycled as ferrous scrap.
Quality assurance: Aftermarket brackets often use thinner gauge steel (1.8mm vs 2.5mm) and skip the zinc plating, leading to rust in 6 months. The genuine bracket uses HSLA steel and a multi‑layer coating.
Precision alignment: Aftermarket brackets often have misaligned nut recesses or incorrect hole spacing, causing the lock to bind. Genuine brackets are 100% dimensionally verified.
Full traceability: Each bracket is stamped with a production batch code, enabling quality tracking. Aftermarket parts have no such traceability.
