| | French translation:le bon ajustement des pièces et garnitures | Explanation:
... ou simplement « l'ajustement des pièces et garnitures ».
Assez d'accord avec « le montage » (Tony), donc, mais il faut peut-être englober p. ex. la notion d'alignement des pièces de carrosserie les unes par rapport aux autres (ailes par rapport au capot...), le fait que les garnitures peuvent se déplacer à cause de chocs durant le transport, etc. |

Explanation:
It's hard to be sure, but the use of "fitting" in the singular gives food for thought, and as always, the context is of first importance!
Usually, we'd talk about "fittings" in the plural, and we might think of that in the sense of "équipements"
However, in the singular, it should mean either "one specific fitting" — or else, the general quality of the way things are fitted, i.e. the "montage"
Only rather more of the context would make this clearer...
