Abstract
A connection between at least a first component A and a second component B with an attachment arrangement with tolerance compensation between the first component A and the second component B. The entire connection is fixated via a blind rivet which is not non-destructively detachable while a compensating sleeve spans a distance between the first component A and the second component B.

A connection between at least a first component A and a second component B with an attachment arrangement with tolerance compensation between the first component A and the second component B, in which the attachment arrangement has the following features:
- a. a compensating sleeve which comprises an interior through connection tube, in particular an unthreaded one, and, on a radial outer side, an outer thread, wherein
- b. the outer thread is formed to fit a mating thread of a hole of the first component A, in which the compensating sleeve is arranged in an axially adjustable manner for tolerance compensation between the first component A and the second component B by turning,
- c. the compensating sleeve has on its end side, facing away from component A, a supporting end face, preferably a radial support collar against which the second component B rests, wherein
- d. a blind rivet which is not nondestructively detachable is attached in the through connection tube so that the second component B is fixated between the supporting end face and a set head of the blind rivet.

Attachment arrangement, with the following features:
- a compensating element similar to a sleeve, which
- has, on a first axial end, a supporting end face with an entry opening into an interior tube and
- has, adjacent to a second axial end, an outer thread on a radial outer side or an inside thread on a radial inner side;
- a base element with a bearing face on a first axial base end facing away from the compensating element, which is connected with the second axial end of the compensating element via a frictional and/or positive connection on a second axial base end facing away from the bearing face, wherein
- the interior tube of the compensating element has a narrowing of its passage adjacent to the entry opening, which forms an axial undercut in the interior tube in the direction of the entry opening, and
- which comprises an unset blind rivet with a rivet mandrel.
