ABSTRACT:
A device for joining a first component A and a second component B while leaving a joining gap SP includes a bolt4and a compensating coil2for compensating tolerances of the joining gap. The compensating coil is adapted to be fixed to the bolt4by frictional engagement means and/or releasable positive engagement means. The dimensions of the compensating coil are adapted to a helical rim hole portion6of the first component A such that actuation of the bolt4causes the compensating coil to rotate through the helical rim hole portion until it fills the joining gap for the purpose of tolerance compensation, and the frictional engagement means and/or releasable positive engagement means is overcome by further actuation of the bolt4so that the bolt can be screwed into a threaded hole of the second component B to join the two components.
