A spacer element serving to obtain a spacer washer positioned between first and second parts of an assembly. The spacer element includes a body having the same geometry as the spacer washer that is to be obtained and a circular score line whose diameter is equal to the internal diameter of the spacer washer that is to be obtained, this score line being configured to break upon insertion of a shank of a connection element, and a centering pad configured to center the score line with respect to the through-orifices of the first and second parts that are configured to accommodate the shank of a connection element when the centering pad is inserted into one of the through-orifices.

Scored spacer element serving to obtain a spacer washer positioned between parts of an assembly, and method for assembling at least two parts using at least one such scored spacer element

A method for assembling a primary structure of an aircraft pylon, includes a step of fixing an angle bracket to each of the first and second lateral panels such as to obtain an L form for each of the first and second lateral panels prior to a placement of said L forms each placed against two sides of each transverse frame. This assembly technique makes it possible to reduce the mounting clearances such that it is unnecessary to fit shims, resulting in a reduction of mounting time and manufacturing costs.
