The capsule includes a head and a body extending from the head, the body having a threaded outer surface, the head having a larger outer diameter than the body. The capsule nut includes a threaded inner surface for threaded coupling to the capsule and is movable so as to apply a first clamping force to the flange of the mounting bracket between the head and the capsule nut and a keying mechanism configured to interface with the bracket keying mechanism.
