The mounting system comprises a first component constructed of a first material characterised by first thermal expansion characteristics and formed with a dovetail projection having angled faces which the component may be clamped. A support structure is constructed of a second material characterised by second thermal expansion characteristics different from the first thermal expansion characteristics and to which the first component is to be clamped. A clamp engages the angled faces of the dovetail projection of the first component to exert a clamping force to clamp the first component to the support structure. An intermediate member is constructed of material having the same thermal expansion characteristics as the first component. The intermediate member includes a device to counterbalance the clamping force exerted on the first component. The device comprises angled faces which are adapted to be engaged by the clamp. The angled faces are inclined oppositely to the angled faces on the first component. The intermediate member is interposed between the dovetail projection of the first component and the support structure. |
