Fastened within an aperture in at least one of the members is a channeled fastening element with a longitudinally extending anti-jacking member and one or more additional members are attached to the fastening element by an elongated retaining element extending into the fastening element channel and locking therewithin. The anti-jacking member is proportioned to substantially extend between the concave member and the surface of the adjacent member to prevent jacking of the fastening element from the aperture.
