Claim:
An arrangement for connecting a tubular first component to a second component, comprising a screw element, a first structural element forming a receptacle for said screw element and arranged at an end of said first component which end faces said second component, and a second structural element secured to said end of said first component which faces said second component in such a manner that said first structural element is held between said first component and said second structural element, wherein said screw is held by said second structural element in said first structural element in loss-proof fashion, said screw element being movable in the first structural element, at least in a direction transversely with respect to a longitudinal direction of said first component, for compensation of tolerances in the connection of said first component to said second component, further wherein said first structural element has at least one flange which extends transversely with respect to said longitudinal direction of said first component, rests on an end side on an edge of said first component and is held against said edge by said second structural element, and further wherein a recess is present, in which said at least one flange of said first structural element is accommodated, on a side of said second structural element that faces said first structural element.
