Abstract
A mounting system for an annular internal fuel manifold disposed within a gas generator case of a gas turbine engine including at least one fastener support assembly and at least one receiving element, each fastener support assembly including a primary fastener engaging the receiving element to constrain a relative movement between the fuel manifold and the gas generator case in an axial direction while allowing the relative movement in a radial direction and a secondary fastener in position to passively and automatically engage the receiving element upon failure of the primary fastener.
