Claim Text:
1. An eccentric tuning pin assembly for mounting a first structural component to a second structural component comprising: a locating pin configured to be fixed to the first structural component and having a shaft with an outer surface that is concentric about a pin axis; an eccentric cap having a radially inner pin engagement surface that is telescopically slidably mounted on the outer surface and is concentric about the pin axis, a radially outer alignment surface that is eccentric extending around the pin axis and is configured to slide into an alignment hole in the second structural component to thereby allow for variation in alignment of the second structural component relative to the first structural component normal to the pin axis; and a first rotation resistance feature on at least one of the outer surface of the locating pin and the pin engagement surface of the eccentric cap, the rotation resistance feature engaging between the outer surface and the pin engagement surface to resist torque applied to the eccentric cap to rotate the eccentric cap relative to the locating pin.
