    AN ARRANGEIVIENT FOR MOUNTING A SUPPORT CROSSBEAIVIBETWEEN A FIRST IVIEMBER AND AN OPPOSING SECOND MEIVIBEROF A VEHICLE TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to an arrangement for mounting a support crossbeambetween a first member and an opposing second member of a vehicleaccording to the preamble of claim 1. The invention also relates to a vehicle.
    BACKGROUND ART Vehicles such as trucks are provided with suspension systems comprisingspring elements. Such spring elements are fastened by means of springfastening members attached to the longitudinal beams of the vehicle frame. ln order to increase stability it may be desired to attach a crossbeambetween such spring fastening members. lt is however not always necessaryand attachment of such a support crossbeam increases assembly time andtakes up additional weight. Different solutions for thus mounting a crossbeamare known. EP1086836, for example, discloses an arrangement for mountingof a support crossbeam between spring fastening members. ln certain countries/regions it may be a requirement. For such situationsretrofitting is the most suitable solution. However mounting a crossbeamafterwards takes time and usually requires extra inserts due to tolerances.
    There is thus a need to improve mounting of a support crossbeam between afirst member and an opposing second member of a vehicle.
    OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide arrangement for mounting asupport crossbeam between a first member and an opposing secondmember of a vehicle which facilitates retrofit of such a crossbeam.

    The crossbeam 20 according to this embodiment has a circular cross section.The crossbeam 20 has a hollow circular cross section. As can be seen in fig.5 the crossbeam 20 has an inner diameter D1 and an outer diameter D2. Thecrossbeam 20 has a first side 20a configured to face the fastening member 5when applied between the fastening members and an opposite second sidenot shown. The crossbeam 20 has a jacket surface 20c.
    The arrangement 10 comprises a first element 12 configured to be fastenedon the surface 5s of the first fastening member 5. The first element 12 isconfigured to be fastened on the surface 5s of the first fastening member 5facing the surface of the not shown second fastening member. The firstelement has central opening for receiving a screw or bolt for fastening saidfirst element 12 on the surface 5s of the first fastening member 5.
    The first element 12 has according to this embodiment a circular crosssection. The first element 12 has a circular cylindrical shape. The firstelement 12 has a first side 12a configured to face the surface 5s of the fastening member 5 when fastened to the fastening member 5 and anopposite side 12b. The first element 12 has ajacket surface 12c.
    At least one of said first and second elements comprises a recess forreceiving said crossbeam 20 during mounting. Here the first element 12comprises a recess 12r. The recess 12r has a circular cross section and iscoaxially arranged relative to the jacket surface 12c of the first element 12.
    As can be seen in fig. 5 the first element 12 has an axial extension L1. Therecess has a depth D, i.e. the recess has an axial extension D. The centralhole of the first element 12 is thus arranged at the bottom of the recess so asto allow a screw 30 (or bolt) to be introduced.

    The second fastening part 16 has conical seat 16d as can be seen in fig. 5.Thus, the fastening part 16 has an inner surface forming a conical seat withessentially the same angle as the jacket surface 14c of the conically shapedfirst fastening part 14.
    A set of axial through holes 16o are distributed along the circumference andthus running through the second fastening part from the first side 16a to thesecond side 16b in the axial direction. The through holes 16o essentiallycorrespond to the holes 12o of the first element 12 and are distributed atessentially the same radial distance such that when aligned said screwmembers 40 may be received and provide a screw joint connecting the firstelement 12 with the second fastening part 16.
    The first fastening part 14 and the second fastening part 16 are arranged toco-act by means of a wedge action when said second fastening part 16 isfastened onto said first element 12.
    Thus, when the crossbeam 20 has been introduced into the recess 12r of thefirst element attached to the fastening member 5 the first fastening part 14 isarranged to be moved along the crossbeam 20 towards the second side 12bof the first element 12. 12 The second fastening part 16 is then arranged to be moved along thecrossbeam 20 towards the first element 12 and the first fastening part 14such that the inner surface 16d of the second fastening part is brought intocontact with the jacket surface 14c of the first fastening part.
    The second fastening part 16 is then arranged to be fastened to the firstelement 12 by means of a screw joint.
