ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for attaching a first member having a predetermined cross-sectional shape to a thin walled second member at a predetermined attachment position. The second member is supported on one side around the outer periphery of an area substantially corresponding to the shape of the first member at the attachment position on the second member. A drive means then engages and drives the first member through the other side of the second member at the attachment position whereby the first member punches a plug corresponding to the shape of the first member from the second member. The first member thus forms a hole in the second member in which the first member is frictionally engaged.
