Abstract
An annular hanger for supporting an annular wall element from a gas turbine engine annular outer casing is circumscribed about a centerline extending in opposite first and second axial directions and has an annular first hook extending in the first axial direction from said body section and an annular second hook extending in the second axial direction. One of the hooks has circumferentially spaced apart tabs extending equal axial lengths from the body section and corresponding notches circumferentially disposed between a corresponding adjacent pair of the tabs. The annular hanger is used to support at least in part a wall element from the outer casing as part of a bayonet mount. The bayonet mount further includes a bayonet slot on one of the casing and the wall element and the hanger tabs are received within the bayonet slot.
