Abstract

Abstract Improved connection between two mounting parts. There is used at least one connecting element attached to one of the mounting parts which has a pin protruding into a bore of the other mounting part and thereby taking up the shear forces while additional tensioning means, acting in direction of the bore are provided to tighten both mounting parts against each other.
