ABSTRACT:
A method of fixing a first component to a second component. The method includes the step of arranging the first component adjacent the second component. Aligning a tab of the first component for selective engagement with a tongue of the second component. Sliding the first component longitudinally against the second component. Flexing the tongue of the second component by sliding the tab of the first component longitudinally along a conical projection of the second component. Overlapping the tongue and the tab until the conical projection is axially aligned with and matingly received and retained in a conical hole in a direction generally orthogonal to the longitudinal sliding movement thereby selectively fixing the first component to the second component.
