ABSTRACT:
A mounting bracket assembly includes: a first bracket component having a first pair of laterally spaced securement tabs; a second bracket component having a second pair of laterally spaced securement tabs; wherein said first and second bracket components are engageable with each other such that respective ones of each of the first and second pairs of securement tabs are located adjacent each other and adapted to engage corresponding pairs of recesses in a machine component. A related method of securing a transition piece to a combustor casing without welding includes: providing a first mounting bracket component for attaching the transition piece to a turbine combustor casing, the first mounting bracket formed with a first set of securement tabs; providing a second mounting bracket component that is usable with the first bracket component, the second mounting bracket component formed with a second set of securement tabs; and slidably engaging the transition piece with the first and second mounting bracket components, such that the first and second pairs of securement tabs are received within corresponding axially-aligned recesses provided on the transition piece, thereby permitting the transition piece to grow thermally relative to the first and second mounting bracket components.
