An apparatus for assembling mechanical components, and particularly in a mass-production line, includes a fixture to clamp and support the component and a flexible connector for supporting the combined weight of the fixture and the component. The fixture is particularly configured to position the center of gravity of the fixture and the component in substantial vertical alignment with the flexible connector so that the component is oriented for direct assembly to the structure. The apparatus is particularly useful for assembling the components of an automobile, such as the doors, to its body with little or no manual manipulation on the part of a worker.
