<p>A connector comprising an adapter (600) having a threaded bore (608) and a bushing (101) having an external thread (104) and an internal thread (102). The adapter has a stop (605) on an outer surface to prevent rotation. The bushing is threaded into the adapter bore. A bolt (200) is threaded into a bushing bore (103) using the internal threads. As the bolt is turned the internal threads cause an interference fit between the bolt shank and the threads, temporarily preventing further insertion of the bolt. The bolt is then turned further causing the bushing to unscrew from the adapter toward the mounting surface (M) until the bushing bears upon the mounting surface. The adapter engages with part (P) thereby completely compensating for a gap between the part and a mounting surface. The adapter does not turn through engagement of the stop (65) with an immoveable part. As the bolt is turned further, the sacrificial internal threads are stripped to allow the bolt to be fully torqued into a mounting surface hole (MH).</p> |
