Abstract
A method is provided to fasten a pin in a target position extending at least partially into a cavity with a distance (D) between a bottom surface of the cavity and a facing end of the pin. The pin is positioned at the target position, and the distance (D) is determined between the bottom surface of the cavity and the facing end of the pin in the target position. The pin is removed from the cavity, and a rigid spacer is applied on the bottom surface. A thickness of the rigid spacer equals the distance (D) between the bottom surface and the facing end of the pin in the target position. The adhesive is filled into the cavity onto the rigid spacer, and the pin is repositioned at the target position. The adhesive is then cured to obtain a joint between the pin and the second component.
