Abstract
A mounting arrangement for mounting a component, for example a fuel injector, in a desired position comprises a sleeve which surrounds part of the component and includes a screw-threaded end region. At a point spaced from the first end, the sleeve defines a groove arranged to receive a resilient member which cooperates, in use, with a groove provided in the component to secure the component to the sleeve.
