Abstract
An assembly includes a first seat, a second seat, a first fastener which fastens against the first seat, a second fastener which fastens against the second seat, and a baulking element disposed between the second fastener and the second seat. The baulking element is arranged with respect to the second fastener and the second seat such that fastening the second fastener against the second seat causes the baulking element to cant from a non-baulking position into a baulking position in which the baulking element prevents further fastening of the first fastener.
