A vehicle component mounting bracket 2 is provided for use in a vehicle assembly line, for example for fitting a vehicle seat to a vehicle chassis or body. Bracket 2 comprises at least one planar surface 4, which may have a surface area of at least 1000 mm², having a recess 6 to receive an engagement element 12 of a vehicle component 10, for example a seat, and at least one abutment 8 protruding from planar surface 4 and arranged to direct motion of engagement element 12 in a direction parallel to planar surface 4 so that engagement element 12 can engage recess 6. Recess 6 may be coincident with an edge of abutment 8. Planar surface 4 may be part of a portion detachable from a body of bracket 2. Bracket 2 may provide a reduction of takt time when used in an assembly line, and may be comprised in a vehicle after assembly.
