Method and assembly for attaching components

摘要

An example adjustable linking member (22) of a mounting assembly (20) includes a first attachment portion (24) and a second attachment portion (26). The first attachment portion (24) connects a linking member (22) to a first component (12). The second attachment portion (26) connects the linking member (22) to a second component (14). A variable portion (36) of the adjustable linking member (22) varies a distance between the first attachment portion (24) and the second attachment portion (26) in a first direction when heated. The variable portion (36) varies the distance between the first attachment portion (24) and the second attachment portion (26) in a second direction when cooled. The first direction is opposite the second direction.
