1. An insert (10) made of electrically conducting material, insertable at least partly inside a seat (8) on a first member (2), and connectable to a second member (1), so as to mechanically and electrically connect said first member (2) and said second member (1); said insert (10) comprising:a faste
1. An insert (10) made of electrically conducting material, insertable at least partly inside a seat (8) on a first member (2), and connectable to a second member (1), so as to mechanically and electrically connect said first member (2) and said second member (1); said insert (10) comprising:a fastening member (11) connectable electrically to a first electrically conducting area (4, 7) on said first member (2);a supporting surface (17) connectable mechanically to said second member (1);characterized in that said supporting surface (17) is electrically connectable to a second electrically conducting area (9) of said first member (2);said insert (10) further comprising:a first flange (15) defining said supporting (17), which cooperates with said first member (2); anda stem (14) projecting from said supporting surface (17) and insertable inside said seat (8);said fastening member (11) being interposed between said first flange (15) and said stem (14);said fastening member (11) comprising at least one thread (12) which screws onto said first electrically conducting area (4, 7). 2. An insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said first flange (15) comprises at least one opening (26) by which to pour adhesive into said insert (10) and/or for connection to a fitting tool (30). 3. An insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said first flange (15) comprises fastening means (25) engaged by said second member (1). 4. An assembly comprising: said first member (2);said second member (1); andan insert (10) as claimed in claim 1;said first member (2) comprising a panel (3) defining at least one said seat (8); and at least one body (4) defining said first and second electrically conducting area (4, 7);said insert (10) and said first member (2) being connected mechanically to each other by connecting means (25, 35) made of electrically conducting material and defining a further electrically conducting area between said first and second members (2, 1). 5. An insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized by comprising an annular projection (18) interposed axially between said flange (15) and said stem (14). 6. An insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said projection (18) comprises, proceeding from said first surface (17) towards said stem (14): a first portion (19) adjacent to said supporting surface (17) of said flange (15) and on which said fastening means (11) are formed; anda second portion (20) interposed between said first portion (19) and said stem (14). 7. An insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said stem (14) comprises two parallel toothed second flanges (21) perpendicular to an axis (A) of said stem (14); one of said flanges (21) defining an axial end, opposite to said first flange (15), of said insert (10). 8. An insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said thread (12) is self-threading. 9. A tool (30) for fitting an insert (10) as claimed in claim 1 to a supporting member (2), comprising: a first body (31) connectable to said insert (10); anda second body (32) defining a reference surface (28) designed to cooperate, in use, with said supporting member (2) to set a first axis (A) of said insert (10) to a given position with respect to said supporting member (2) before fitting said insert (10);said first body (31) being movable along a second axis (B) with respect to said second body (32) to insert said insert (10) inside a seat (8) on said supporting member (2);characterized in that said first body (31) rotates about said second axis (B) with respect to said second body (32) to screw a thread (12) on said insert (10) to an electrically conducting area (4, 7) of said supporting member (2). 10. A tool as claimed in claim 9, characterized in that said first and second body (31, 32) comprise respective meshing threads (36, 40). 11. A method of fitting an insert (10) of electrically conducting material to a first supporting member (2), so as to mechanically and electrically connect said first supporting member (2) and a second member (1), comprising the steps of: inserting the insert (10) at least partly inside a seat (8) formed in said first supporting member (2);mechanically connecting a supporting surface (17) of said insert (10) to said second member (1);characterized by comprising the steps of electrically connecting a fastening member (11) of said insert (10) to a first electrically conducting area (4, 7) of said first supporting member (2);positioning a surface (17) of said insert (10) on a second electrically conducting area (9) of said first supporting member (2);contacting said first supporting member (2) with a flange (15), which defines said supporting surface (17); andinserting a stem (14) projecting from said supporting surface (17) inside said seat (8);said fastening member (11) being interposed between said flange (15) and said stem (14);said mechanically connecting step comprising the step of screwing a thread (12) on said insert (10) to said first electrically conducting area (4, 7) of said first supporting member (2). 12. A method as claimed in claim 11, characterized in that said inserting step comprises the step of first securing said insert (10) with respect to said first supporting member (2); and by comprising, after said connecting step, the step of gluing said insert (10) inside said seat (8) in said first supporting member (2) to fix said insert (10) definitively to said first supporting member (2). 13. A method as claimed in claim 11, characterized by comprising the step of positioning a surface (28) of a fitting tool (30) on said first supporting member (2) to set an axis (A) of said insert (10) to a given position with respect to said first supporting member (2).
