ABSTRACT:
Apparatus including a first edge having a cutout adjacently located between a pair of counter bore panels, a connector assembly including a connector having a mounting flange with a pair of inserts and a pair of guide pins. The pair of inserts adapted to receive and secure the pair of guide pins. Mounting flange adapted to abut a rear face of the first edge such that the connector extends through the cutout and the pair of inserts align with the pair of counter bore panels. The cutout and the pair of counter bore panels are slightly oversized for the connector and respective guide pins. Once the pair of guide pins is received by the pair of inserts the connector floats within a space defined by the cutout and pair of counter bore panels and the connector and pair of guide pins.
