The method described is particularly intended for attachment of radiator tubes to a header. The plate is formed of a deformable material and has a first and a second surface (22, 24) separated by a thickness thereof. At least one pair of retaining collars (36, 38) are formed on the plate (20). One of the pair of retaining collars (36, 38) is formed on the first surface (22) of the plate (20) and the second of the pair of ing collars (38) is formed on the second surface (24) of the plate. The pair of retaining collars (36,38) are of the same general shape, have a common central axis, and they each have a portion extending above the respective surface from which they are formed. The pair of retaining collars (36, 38) are interconnected by an opening (42) and a deformable tube (44) is fitted in a position in the opening (42) between the interconnected pair of retaining collars. The tube (44) is deformed into engagement with the interconnected pair of retaining collars (36, 38) formed on the first and the second surface of the plate thereby to form a joint between the plate (20) and the tube (44). |
