Cam collar. The cam collar consists of an aluminum alloy forging mounted in a stamped sheet
metal base. It is permanently attached to the structure by means of a dimpled or countersunk hole which prevents the
collar from extending above the mounting surface.
(2)
Grommet. The grommet is a flanged ring made to fit into a dimple in the removable member of
an assembly.

factory-assembled component shall not be disassembled. The assembly is inserted into the grommet by compressing
the spring. The spring must be compressed in order to get the stud assembly out of the grommet.
