ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for mounting components, such as light assemblies, to a base, such as a vehicle, includes a positioning element having a boss for positioning engagement with the component, and stud means cooperating with predrilled holes in the base. Fastener openings in the component are spatially located to correspond with the predrilled holes and with the studs. The studs are frangible so that in use, the positioning element is applied to the base, the boss in predetermined position with respect to the holes. The component is then applied to the positioning element and is positioned by the boss so that its fastener openings are registered over the studs and the predrilled holes. Screw fasteners are threaded through the component and bear against the studs, breaking them, pushing them through the predrilled holes, and operatively connecting the component to the base. The boss is provided with electrical conductor receiving grooves and, where the component is a light assembly, the component includes a conductor piercing prong, electrically connected to a lamp, for connection to a conductor in one of the grooves.
