The fastener includes a head and a shank with a slot passing through the head and shank and terminating short of the free nose end of the shank to form a resilient hinge which permits the symmetrical portions of the head and shank to flex toward and away from one another. The head includes a recess having complimentary means for engaging the abutment means on said rod to restrain axial movement of the rod relative to the recessed head.
