Abstract
A replaceable clip formed from an elongated bowed member having one end adapted to fit a lug through an aperture and the opposite end fit another lug through a slot. The lugs extend from a panel secured by the clip to an annular shaped shell and the bowed surface bears again the upper surface of the shell to retain the panel while allowing it to grow thermally in both the axial and circumferential directions. The clip is particularly adapted to be used in a transition duct or combustor liner of a gas turbine engine.
