Abstract

A wire-tray-assembly includes a wire-tray, a first-insert, and a second-insert. The wire-tray has a first-mounting-tab defining a first-aperture, and a second-mounting-tab defining a second-aperture. The first-insert is releasably retained by the first-mounting-tab and a first-mounting-stud extends through the first-aperture into the first-insert. The first-insert is rotatable about a longitudinal-axis of the first-mounting-stud. The first-insert defines a first-cavity into which are disposed first-pawls configured to releasably engage threads of the first-mounting-stud. The second-insert is releasably retained by the second-mounting-tab and a second-mounting-stud extends through the second-aperture into the second-insert. The second-body defines a second-cavity into which are disposed second-pawls configured to releasably engage threads of the second-mounting-stud. The first-pawls engage the threads of the first-mounting-stud and the second-pawls engage the threads of the second-mounting-stud when an installation-force is applied the first-insert and the second-insert along the longitudinal-axis of the first-mounting-stud and the second-mounting-stud.
