Patent ID: 8235345

Claim:
An assembly for a gas turbine engine comprising: a mounting surface having a first flange portion and a first mounting orifice, the first flange portion having a first underside, a first aperture and a first free end, the first underside being spaced from and adjacent to the mounting surface such that a first channel is formed therebetween, the first aperture being aligned with the first mounting orifice; a first component having a first body and a first leg, the first leg extending outwardly from the first body, the first leg having a first recess, the first leg being sized and shaped to be positioned at least partially within the first channel; and a first fastener having a first diameter portion and a second diameter portion, the second diameter portion being narrower than the first diameter portion, the first fastener being fastened to the mounting surface and the first flange with the first diameter portion extending through the first mounting orifice and the first recess, and the second diameter portion extending through the first aperture of the first flange such that the first fastener maintains a spacing between the first underside of the first flange and the mounting surface for permitting movement of the component relative to the mounting surface during thermal cycling of the gas turbine engine.
