Abstract: A fastening device for installing a fitting or a holding clamp in a hole in a thin wall. The fastening device includes a head area with fitting parts attached thereto for clamping or enclosing a portion of the fitting or holding clamp between the head and the thin wall. The fastening device also includes a body area that proceeds from the head area and penetrates the hole in an installed condition. Proceeding from the end of the body area are two spring legs which are directed rearward toward the thin wall, and which are supported by sloping foot-like ends on two diametrically opposite, parallel edges of the hole. The fastening device forms guide strips which protrude laterally from the body area, and which are guided into suitable notches (between the opposite edges of the hole in the thin wall.

The fastening clamp comprises a body region which proceeds from the neck region and has two opposing step-back surfaces of the flat material which are formed by bending. The step-back surfaces are springingly supported on, the hole face, the edge or the edge face of the perforation of the second thin wall. According to the invention, the two step-back surfaces are formed by two V-shaped spring portions which project beyond the thin walls, and the perforation for receiving the fastening clamp comprises two adjacent rectangular holes which are separated by a web.
