Abstract
A method for assembling a component, such as a wind turbine blade, includes providing a first element of the component and providing a second element of the component. An alignment member is inserted at a predefined position in one of the first or second elements, the alignment member having a predefined shape. The alignment member is positioned within a receiver portion of the other of the first or second elements along a joining portion, and the first and second elements are then joined. During the joining process, the alignment member aligns along a longitudinal axis of at least one of the first or second elements.
