A connector assembly comprises a base part that defines a throughhole receiving a bolt and a connector device having a rear portion that fits through the throughhole in the base part, and a front portion that does not fit through the throughhole in the base part. The rear portion of the connector device defines a bolt hole for engaging with a bolt extending through the throughhole in the base part. The front portion of the connector device defines an access opening aligned with the bolt hole in the rear portion. The rear portion is configured with an engagement surface structure engaged with a forming wall structure of the throughhole in the base part upon movement of the connector device relative to the throughhole.
