Abstract: In a method for aligning and mounting two components, a guide part and a follower part, on a support member in a positionally accurate manner, and a joining region of these components, in order to align two components relatively to each other and to other adjacent components, on a support member, in a positionally accurate manner and with a minimum amount of expenditure, the following method steps may be provided: the guide part is placed in position on the support member; a distance element is inserted into the openings in the guide part and the follower part so that it fixes the position of the follower part relative to the guide part; and the follower part and the guide part are jointly fixed in position in the attachment region, with respect to the support member.
