The overlap region ( 23 ) of the first member ( 3 ) includes at least an anchoring recess ( 25 ). The overlap region ( 29 ) of the second member ( 5 ) includes at least a discrete zone ( 37 ) set-back from the second metal member ( 5 ) for securing the plastics material, and the connecting portion ( 45 ) extends into the set-back zone ( 37 ) in order to be engaged in the anchoring recess ( 25 ).
