Abstract
A blind fastener includes a sleeve defining a sleeve central axis and having a sleeve shank having a distal end portion and a proximal end portion axially opposed from the distal end portion and a stop connected to the distal end portion of the sleeve shank. The sleeve defines an eccentric through-bore that extends along a through-bore axis from the proximal end portion to the distal end portion. The blind fastener includes a core bolt at least partially received in the eccentric through-bore of the sleeve, defining a core bolt central axis. A core bolt shank has a distal end portion, a proximal end portion axially opposed from the distal end portion, and a threaded portion. A core bolt head is connected to the proximal end portion of the core bolt shank. An eccentric nut is threaded into engagement with the threaded portion of the core bolt shank.
