A fastener having a head and a threaded shank is arranged with the head engaging the first member and with the shank extending through the first and second holes and having a threaded end portion projecting out of the second hole. A nut is threaded on the projecting end portion of the shank and engaged against the second member for being turned to act through the fastener for drawing the first and second members together to tighten the strap around the object and place the fastener and the strap under a predetermined tension. The fastener has an indicator for indicating the tension in the fastener and thereby indicating the tension in the strap. The first member is formed for observation of the indicator.
