Claim Text:
1. An assembly for a gas turbine engine comprising: a frame; a strut extending from the frame; a mount attached to the frame, the mount comprising: a ring extending around an engine centerline and having one or more slots therein, wherein each slot has side walls extending in a radial direction relative to the frame and an end wall joining the side walls; and a fairing connected to the mount, the fairing comprising: an outer radial surface; an inner radial surface; a vane extending from the outer radial surface to the inner radial surface, wherein the vane is disposed around the strut; and one or more lugs extending from one of the outer and inner radial surfaces that have mating walls, each mating wall extending in a substantially axial direction relative to the frame and disposed opposite one of the side walls of one of the slots, wherein the one or more lugs are received in the one or more slots; wherein the one or more lugs of the fairing and the one or more slots of the mount are mating anti-deflection features that engage to allow unconstrained movement of the fairing in both the radial direction and the axial direction relative to the frame but is constrained from movement in a circumferential direction with respect to the frame.
