Integral retention clip with nut

A fastener assembly comprising:

• a retention clip having:
• a first clip arm having a fastener bore formed therethrough and first and second retention fingers spaced apart about a circumferential edge of the fastener bore, each of the first and second retention fingers extending at an oblique angle into the fastener bore and terminating at an end beyond an inner surface of the first clip arm, wherein a combined arc length of the first and second retention fingers about the fastener bore is less than the circumferential edge and the oblique angle is about 45°;
• a second clip arm spaced apart from the first clip arm, the second clip arm having a nut with a threaded bore coaxially aligned with the fastener bore;
• and
• a bridge interconnecting the first clip arm and the second clip arm in a spaced relationship such that the inner surface of the first clip arm faces the second clip arm;
• and
• a threaded fastener extending through the fastener bore in the first clip arm and configured to threadably engage the threaded bore in the second clip arm, wherein the ends of the first and second retention fingers form an opening for receiving the threaded fastener therebetween in an axially sliding mode;
• wherein the threaded fastener is retained by the first and second retention fingers in the fastener bore of the first clip arm and couples the threaded fastener to the retention clip without requiring hand-threading.
