A method enables a link connector (12) to be coupled to a clevis (14). The clevis includes a pair of arms (20, 22) and an opening (28, 30) that extends therethrough. The link connector includes a first end (40) that includes an elastomeric portion (44) that defines an opening. The method includes positioning a support washer (70) including an opening (74) extending therethrough adjacent the link connector elastomer portion, and inserting a fastener through the clevis opening, the support washer opening, and the link connector elastomer opening to couple the link connector and the support washer to the clevis such that the link connector is coupled between the clevis arms by the fastener, and such that the support washer thermally insulates at least a portion of the link connector elastomeric portion. <IMAGE> |
