A tubular rivet having a preformed head and a shank which extends through aligned apertures of workpiece members is set by expanding the end of the shank remote from the head to form a blind head by pulling the head of a mandrel into the bore of the shank. Then the shank together with the blind head and a central portion of the preformed head is moved in a direction towards the preformed head while restraining movement of the periphery of the preformed head, thereby deforming the preformed head and decreasing the distance between the preformed head and the blind head. |
