Abstract

The present invention relates to an arrangement (a) for preventing rotation of a crank member (10). The crank member (10) is connected to an interchangeable position element (20) and comprises a cable (12) for rotating the crank member to change the position of the element (20). The cable (12) has an angled cable portion (12a). The arrangement (a) comprises a locking member (30) having a first attachment portion (32) for releasable locking of the crank member (10) and a second attachment portion (34) for attaching the locking member (30) to an attachment portion (42) adjacent to the crank member (10).The first attachment portion (32) is a first press-fit fastening portion (32) which is configured in such a way that, when the second attachment portion (34) is attached to the attachment portion (42), the first press-fit fastening portion (32) is arranged to receive the angled cable portion (12a) so as to provide a press-fit fastening connection that prevents rotation of the crank member (10). The present invention also relates to a vehicle.
