Abstract

An assembly (10) for mounting a vehicle component to a vehicle frame member. A mounting spacer assembly (16) has outer and in-ner mounting spacer structures (18, 20) and a plurality of parallel elongated fasteners (26). The outer mounting spacer (18) extends through an opening in the vehicle frame member and the central exterior peripheral portion is welded to the frame member. The inner mounting spacer structure (20) be-ing secured within the outer mounting spacer structure (18) in a rattle-free condition. The plurality of parallel elongated fasteners (26) each having a shank (28) configured at one end to engage the vehicle component and having a head (32) at the opposite end. The mounting spacer assembly (16) further including a plurality of longitudinally extending structural portions (34) disposed in generally surrounding relation with each of the fastener shanks (28) and in force transmitting relation between the vehicle compo-nent and each of the heads (32).
