Claim:
1. A method for producing an assembly, the assembly comprising a first component and a second component, the first component and the second component are clamped together at a predefined distance (H) from each other, the first component and the second component being clamped together using a clamping nut that bears against the first component on an outer face of the first component that faces away from the second component, using a clamping bolt which engages in the clamping nut and bears against the second component on an outer face of the second component that faces away from the first component, and using an adjustable spacer formed by a threaded bushing and a drum nut between the first component and the second component, wherein the method comprises the steps of: (i) screwing the threaded bushing into the clamping nut before or while the clamping bolt passes through the drum nut, the distance (H) between the first component and the second component being first set with conjoint rotation of the drum nut and then, (ii) further screwing the clamping bolt into the clamping nut, the first component and the second component are thereby clamped against each other, whereby the clamping nut and the threaded bushing are fixed on the first component by a permanently deformed rivet collar, which passes through a joining opening in the first component and engages behind an undercut in the threaded bushing.
