Abstract
A gas turbine engine with a rear mount assembly including link rods interconnecting the bypass duct wall and the core portion and connecting assemblies connected to the bypass duct wall. Each connecting assembly has inner and outer surfaces bordering an opening through which an outer end of a respective link rod extends. The outer surface is accessible from outside the bypass duct wall. A first locking member is engaged to the outer end in a first locked position, and includes an abutment portion located radially inwardly of the inner surface and abutting the inner surface, and an outer portion protruding radially outwardly through the opening beyond the outer surface. A second locking member is engaged the outer end in a second locked position, and has an abutment portion located radially outwardly of the outer surface and abutting the outer surface. A method of supporting a core portion is also discussed.
