The invention comprises a tolerance compensating mounting device comprising a bushing having an internal and external thread. The bushing (101) is threade d into a part to be mounted to a surface. A bolt (200) is then threaded into a bushing bore using the internal threads. The internal threads (102) cause an interference fit between the bolt (200) shank and the threads, temporarily preventing further insertion of the bolt (200). The bolt (200) is then turne d further, thereby turning the bushing (101) and causing the bushing to unscre w from the part toward the mounting surface until the bushing seats on the mounting surface, thereby completely compensating for a tolerance gap. As th e bolt is turned further, at a relatively low torque the sacrificial internal threads are stripped allowing the bolt to be fully torqued into the mounting surface hole, thereby simultaneously connecting the components with a proper ly torqued connection while compensating for a tolerance gap.
