ABSTRACT:
A device is described for use in locating and securing a component, for example a cover panel, in an adjusted position to a main structure. The device is formed from an elongated plate-shaped member which is turned down at each end to form locating legs. The main part of the device sits on the component which is secured to the main structure by a screw which passes through apertures in the device and the component and engages in a threaded aperture in the main structure. When the component has been secured in the desired adjusted position, the legs of the locating device extend into, and grip, the removable component thereby establishing a location in the component for the screw. It is then possible to remove the component from the main structure and replace it in the same position without further adjustment.
