Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In one aspect an elastically averaged alignment system is provided. The alignment system includes a first component comprising an inner wall defining an alignment aperture, a second component including a receiving aperture, and a fastener configured for insertion into the alignment aperture and the receiving aperture to couple the first and second components. The system further includes an elastically deformable collar inserted onto the fastener. The collar is configured to elastically deform against the inner wall to an elastically averaged final configuration upon insertion into the alignment aperture, thereby coupling the first and second components to facilitate aligning the first component and the second component in a desired orientation.
