Abstract:
1. A method for the connection of a pin for supporting a gear box to a bar of a frame of a motor vehicle comprising the steps of: providing a pair of fixing brackets, each of which has an upper portion having a first circumferentially enclosed through hole bounded there around by interconnected side members and being shaped like a cross sectional shape of the bar, and a lower portion having a seat designed to receive one end of the pin for supporting the gear box; mounting the two fixing brackets on the bar at a given distance one from the other to allow the insertion of the pin between the two seats by sliding the bar itself through the first circumferentially enclosed through hole of each of the two fixing brackets, each of which thereby extend around the bars, so as to enable free sliding of the two fixing brackets along the exterior of the bar; mechanically coupling the pin to the seats of the fixing brackets, thus determining a mounting position for the two fixing brackets; and rigidly connecting both of the two fixing brackets to the bar in the mounting position.
