Default Wrecker Terminology Question

What is the common name in Australia for a “kit” of used parts (typically fresh off a single donor) comprising radiator, fan/shroud, condenser and possibly PAS cooler?

For example, Fleabay item: 313531530554

Is this a serious question or do we reply with funny answers ?

Funny answers are fine. Spike Milligan was someone I admired.

It is a serious question, though.

Often there seems to be shorthand terminology, eg “security set” or “airbag kit”.

There is no terminology for such things.
You are thinking too deep into it.

That’s helpful. It’s more descriptive of what I’m actually assembling.

The Germans seem to refer to a cooling package, I thought it might have been something like that.

cooling pack.

typically contains rad, condenser, intercooler and fan/shroud but not any hoses etc. typically these days all those parts clip together into one unit and are assembled as one
