Subassembly of a vehicle safety system, vehicle safety system, vehicle safety device and method of manufacturing a subassembly of a vehicle safety system

A method of manufacturing a subassembly (10) of a vehicle safety system comprising a tubular casing (20) and comprising a fastening element (30) which includes at least one fastening hole (13, 13′) and a peripheral portion (31) curved at least in portions, comprising the steps of:

• forming at least one breakthrough (40) in the peripheral portion (31) of the fastening element (30),
• connecting the peripheral portion (31) to the tubular casing (20) at least at one connecting point (11) so that a coating passage (17) is configured at least in portions between the peripheral portion (31) and the tubular casing (20),
• coating at least a portion of the exposed surface (21;
• 32) of the tubular casing (20) and/or the fastening element (30) with an anti-corrosion layer,
• wherein the peripheral portion (31) is welded and/or bonded at least at one connecting point (11) to the tubular casing (20), and wherein the anti-corrosion layer of the tubular casing (20) and/or of the fastening element (30) is applied by galvanic coating and/or spray-coating and/or painting.
