Fretting-wear resistant beacon lid

A method of joining a lid to a housing, the housing having an open mouth exposing a cavity, comprising:

• placing the lid over the open mouth;
• placing a pin through a first aperture in the housing, a first bore in the lid, and a second aperture in the housing, wherein the first aperture, second aperture, and first bore form a continuous passage when the lid is placed over the open mouth;
• placing a set screw within a second bore in the lid, wherein the second bore is non-parallel to and intersecting with the first bore;
• and
• placing a force on the pin with the set screw.

A method comprising:

• placing a beacon into a cavity in an elongate housing through an open mouth;
• covering the open mouth with a lid;
• securing the lid to the elongate housing with a component;
• and
• thereafter, placing a set screw into the lid such that placement of the set screw applies a force to the component.
