Abstract
A device for joining a first component A and a second component B while leaving a joining gap SP includes a boltand a compensating coilfor compensating tolerances of the joining gap. The compensating coil is adapted to be fixed to the boltby frictional engagement means and/or releasable positive engagement means. The dimensions of the compensating coil are adapted to a helical rim hole portionof the first component A such that actuation of the boltcauses the compensating coil to rotate through the helical rim hole portion until it fills the joining gap for the purpose of tolerance compensation, and the frictional engagement means and/or releasable positive engagement means is overcome by further actuation of the boltso that the bolt can be screwed into a threaded hole of the second component B to join the two components.
