A system for interconnecting components in a vehicle body structure, and especially for interconnecting fiber-reinforced composite components in a fuselage structure of an aircraft. The system includes a first adapter member, a second adapter member and a connector member. The first adapter member has a first mating portion configured to substantially conform with a profile of a first component of the structure in more than one plane. A first attachment portion is connected to the first mating portion. The second adapter member has a second mating portion configured to substantially conform with a profile of a second component of the structure in more than one plane. A second attachment portion is connected to the second mating portion. The connector member securely interconnects the first and second attachment portions of the first and second adapter members. A related method of interconnecting components in a vehicle body structure is also disclosed.
