Danke, Ken. Ich habe mich für "adapting surface"entschieden. Cf. www.wikipatents.com/de/3446089.html

Möglich wäre evtl. auch "locating (sur)face" (cf. www.freepatentsonline.com/EP1147841.html) oder "shim surface" gewesen, die mir 7.230 bzw. 219 Google-Hits bringen.

Warum "Ernst D-E: Abstimmloch n, Positionierloch n / timing hole" habe ich nur zur Kenntnis genommen.

Notes to answerer
Asker: An "shims" (shim faces?) habe ich auch schon gedacht. "Alignment" geht mir vielleicht zu stark in Richtung "Ausrichten"...
