Abstract
The present invention provides a wear element assembly comprising: (i) a wear element comprising an aperture adapted to receive a fastener, the aperture having a tapered upper region, (ii) a fastener comprising a head region, and a threaded region distal to head region, the head region of the fastener being tapered so as to frictionally engage with the tapered upper region of the aperture, wherein, in use, the threaded region of the fastener is inserted into the aperture and an underlying substrate to locate the wear element on the substrate, and a nut is wound onto the threaded region to secure the wear element to the substrate.
