Abstract
There are provided a lightning-resistant fastener and a cap, which, while assuring sufficient insulation properties, provide improved workability and highly stable quality to thereby enable a reduction in the manufacturing cost of an airframe, and a method of mounting the lightning-resistant fastener. A holeis formed in a cap, and a screw grooveis formed in the hole. The configuration enables the capto be reliably and easily positioned and installed on a fastener memberand reliably prevents the capfrom coming off after the installation thereof. This improves the workability to reduce the production cost while assuring sufficient insulation properties and enables the capto be installed with stable quality irrespective of workers. Preferably, the capis made of a resin in view of mass producibility, weight reduction, and the like.
