Each nozzle segment includes an outer band, an inner band and at least two vanes disposed between the outer and inner bands. A retention flange extends radially inwardly from the inner band and has a first hole formed therein. The nozzle support includes a recess formed therein and a mounting flange extending therefrom. The mounting flange is disposed in contact with the retention flange and has a second hole formed therein. A pin is disposed in the first and second holes to position the flanges with respect to one another. A pin retainer is disposed in the recess and has a holding flange for retaining the pin in place. The nozzle support includes a substantially conical portion and an air seal integrally formed thereto.
