Abstract: In the case of the method of the invention, the cables of a cable harness are preassembled on a metallic rivet bushing by the cable harness manufacturer in that the cable shoes of the cables are pushed onto the rivet bushing and are prevented from loosening by a subsequently formed upset ridge. The rivet bushing with the attached cables is then delivered to the vehicle manufacturer, who pushes the rivet bushing onto a stud bolt provided on the body part. The rivet bushing with the cables held by it is then immobilized on the stud bolt by a nut. An apparatus for performing the procedure as well as a rivet bushing therefore are also described.

Abstract: A riveted joint between two sheet-metal components spaced at a certain distance by means of a spacing rivet is described. The spacing rivet is immobilized on the one sheet-metal component by a flange and a first upset ridge and on the other sheet-metal component by a shoulder and a second upset ridge. A spacing section of the spacing rivet extends between the first upset ridge and the shoulder in order to keep the two sheet-metal components at a certain distance from each other. A spacing rivet and a method for producing this type of riveted joint are also described.
