Tech/Engineering - Other / Brush cutter
French term or phrase: contre-pièce
Same thing as the other one. This is part of the user manual of a thermal motor brush cutter, and I don't quite know what "contre-pièce" could be. This part is referring to the installation of the trim line on the brush cutter.

"- Installez la contre-pièce (B11)."

This is preceded by "- Serrez le capot de protection du fil (14) avec les vis à tête à six pans creux et les rondelles au moyen de la clé à six pans creux jointe dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre (B10)."

mating part/ matching part/ counterpart
Explanation:
The part that matches whatever was installed previously.
From the provided context, it is impossible to know what the that part might be, but for translation purposes a "contre-pièce" is simply the matching part.

Examples:
"s'enfonce au montage dans la contre-pièce et forme un joint métallique parfait. ... adjusting nipple bites into the mating part on assembly, forming a metal/metal .

"15) extending circumferentially in the inner surface of the mating part. ...
(15) périphérique disposée sur le côté intérieur de la contre-pièce."

"sur la surface extérieure d'un mur, une contre-pièce (2) de la partie d'applique,
a counterpart (2) of the cover part, designed to be mounted inside the wall, "
