Abstract

A fastening device by which a thermoplastic cover may be fixed to a tubular component. The cover fits tightly into the tubular component which is provided in the region of the cover with bores through which a lost pin is pressed after heating into the constituent material of the cover. The pin has a smaller diameter than the bore so that material displaced by the hot pin is able to flow into the bore.
