The invention comprises a tolerance compensating mounting device (100) comprising a bushing (101) having an internal (102) and external (104) threa d. The bushing is threaded into a part (P) 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 shank and the threads, temporarily preventing further insertion of the bolt. The bolt (200) is then turned further, thereby turning the bushing (100) and causing the bushing to unscrew from the part (P) toward the mounting surface until t he bushing seats on the mounting surface, thereby completely compensating for a tolerance gap. As the bolt is turned further, at a relatively low torque the sacrificial internal threads (102) are stripped allowing the bolt to be full y torqued into the mounting surface hole, thereby simultaneously connecting th e components with a properly torqued connection while compensating for a tolerance gap.
