The first member has a linear portion and an offset portion both having a hollow interior. The first linear portion extends through a first opening in the structural member in a direction perpendicular to the structural member and further extends in an outboard direction from the structural member. The offset portion is angularly offset from the first linear portion and extends laterally outboard and forward relative to the structural member. The second member has a first section and a second section. The first section is disposed within the hollow interior of the linear portion of the first member and the second section extends through of an opening in the first member outboard from the opening of the first member away from the hollow interior.
