Radial fit bolt assembly

A radial fit bolt assembly comprising:

• a bolt including a first section, a second section and an intermediate section axially interposed between the first and second sections, the first section having an outer diameter increasing in a first direction and the second section having an outer diameter increasing in the first direction, the outer diameter of the first section being smaller than the outer diameter of the second section;
• and
• a sleeve radially surrounding the bolt and including a first section, a second section and an intermediate section axially interposed between the first section of the sleeve and the second section of the sleeve, the first section of the sleeve having an inner diameter increasing along the first direction and the second section of the sleeve having an inner diameter increasing along the first direction, the first and second sections of the sleeve having the same outer diameter, the inner diameter of the first section of the sleeve being smaller than the inner diameter of the second section of the sleeve, the first section of the bolt being in radial contact with the first section of the sleeve and the second section of the bolt being in radial contact with the second section of the sleeve, the intermediate section of the sleeve at least partially radially surrounding the intermediate section of the bolt such that an annular gap is defined radially between an outer surface of the intermediate section of the bolt and an inner surface of the intermediate section of the sleeve and an annular groove is provided on an outer surface of the intermediate section of the sleeve.
