Location rings 3, 23 are generally known to present a sealing ring 2, 12 in combustor parts of a gas turbine engine. The location rings 3, 23 act to present the sealing rings 2, 12 such that fuel spray nozzles are appropriately presented towards the combustor whilst these location rings 3, 23 are more susceptible to wear than a panel 4, 24 within which the arrangement 1, 10 is secured. Previously location rings 3 have been located by dedicated bolts 6 provided in drilled and tapped apertures in the panel 4. Each bolt 6 is typically spot welded to provide a lock feature such that upon repair and overhaul it is necessary to remove a heat shield 5 and then remove the spot welds before disassembly. By integrating the heat shield 25 with location ring 23 portions it is possible to utilize the existing heat shield retainer positions as fixing points 19 with associated rail or strap elements 16, 17 such that through overlap along retainer edges 26, 27 a desired retained configuration is achieved.
