Abstract
An interface for detachably connecting a vehicle test body to a sled base in a vehicle body assembly includes a sled first bracket connected to the sled base, a sled second bracket connected to the sled base opposite the sled first bracket, a body first bracket connected to the test body and structured to be detachably connectible to the sled first bracket, and a body second bracket connected to the test body and structured to be detachably connectible to the sled second bracket. In some arrangements, the interface also includes a brace connected to the sled base and a bearing member connected to the test body and structured to contact the brace when the test body is detachably connected to the sled base. The interface enables rapid removal of the test body from the sled base and also absorbs forward momentum of the test body during testing.
