The connecting pin has a fastening receptacle or threaded receptacle and is connected in one piece with the fastening sleeve by gates which act as predetermined breaking points. The connecting pin is secured by the gates in a prepared position, ready to be driven. A connecting pin produced separately from the fastening sleeve is secured by partially inserting the connecting pin into the receptacle of the fastening sleeve in a prepared position, ready to be driven.
