1. A threaded fastener for installation in an aperture in a workpiece, the threaded fastener including: a first portion and a second portion;the first portion including a spigot, a shoulder, and a nut head, the first portion also including a first aperture extending axially through a center of the spigot such that the spigot, the shoulder, the nut head and the first aperture share a first central axis, the shoulder being disposed below the spigot and the nut head being disposed below the shoulder, the andthe second portion having a second aperture axially extending along a second central axis, the second aperture being of a differing diameter to that of the first aperture;the first and second portions having first second respective bearing surfaces so that in use first and second bearing surfaces bear on front and rear surfaces, respectively, of the workpiece;wherein, in use, the first and second portions engage each other in an interference fit between a wall surface defining the second aperture and a radially outer wall surface of the spigot so that the first and second central axes are collinear;wherein, in use, a least a portion of the radially outer wall surface passes through and extends from the aperture of the workpiece; andwherein an axial separation of the bearing surfaces of the first and second portions, when the first and second portions are engaged with each other, is predetermined by the axial thickness of the shoulder, the shoulder situated between the respective bearing surfaces of the first and second portions, wherein the spigot outer surface and the second aperture are non-circular. 2. The method of installing the fastener of claim 1, into a workpiece, the method comprising: i) placing the one of the first and second portions into an aperture in the workpiece;ii) fitting the other of the first and second portions to an installation tool;iii) engaging a drivescrew of the installation tool with the thread of the one of the first and second portions; andiv) axially moving the drivescrew to draw the one of the first and second portions towards the other of the first and second portions so that the two portions become engaged. 3. A method as claimed in claim 2, including applying adhesive to the workpiece prior to placing the one of the first and second portions into the workpiece aperture. 4. A threaded fastener for installation in an aperture in a workpiece, the threaded fastener including: a first portion and a second portion;the first portion including a spigot, a shoulder, and a nut head, the first portion also including a first aperture extending axially through a center of the spigot such that the spigot, the shoulder, the nut head and the first aperture share a first central axis, the shoulder being disposed below the spigot and the nut head being disposed below the shoulder, the andthe second portion having a second aperture axially extending along a second central axis, the second aperture being of a differing diameter to that of the first aperture;the first and second portions having first second respective bearing surfaces so that in use first and second bearing surfaces bear on front and rear surfaces, respectively, of the workpiece;wherein, in use, the first and second portions engage each other in an interference fit between a wall surface defining the second aperture and a radially outer wall surface of the spigot so that the first and second central axes are collinear;wherein, in use, a least a portion of the radially outer wall surface passes through and extends from the aperture of the workpiece; andwherein an axial separation of the bearing surfaces of the first and second portions, when the first and second portions are engaged with each other, is predetermined by the axial thickness of the shoulder, the shoulder situated between the respective bearing surfaces of the first and second portions, wherein the shoulder is shrouded with an electrically non-conductive material to mitigate galvanic corrosion between the shoulder material and the workpiece material. 5. The fastener of claim 4, wherein in use, the spigot is arranged to be pressed through the aperture in the workpiece, and into the second aperture, whereby after pressing, the first and second fastener portions are held together by friction between the outer surface of the spigot and the inner surface of the second aperture. 6. The fastener of claim 4, wherein in use the shoulder has external dimensions smaller than the workpiece aperture in order to form a space between the inner edge of the workpiece aperture and the outer surface of the shoulder into which space an applied adhesive may flow. 7. The fastener of claim 4, wherein at least one of the bearing surfaces carries surface features which are arranged to grip the surface of the workpiece. 8. The fastener of claim 4, wherein the spigot outer surface carries surface features which are arranged to grip the inner surface of the second aperture in the other of the first and second portions when the first and second portions are fully engaged. 9. The fastener of claim 4, wherein the inner surface of the second aperture carries surface features which are arranged to grip the spigot outer surface when the first and second portions are fully engaged. 10. The fastener of claim 4, wherein at least one of the first and second apertures is blind. 11. A threaded fastener for installation in an aperture in a workpiece, the fastener having first and second portions, which first and second portions are arranged to engage non-removably along a common axis, the common axis defined by the aperture in the workpiece; one of the first and second portions having an axially-extending aperture of first diameter and the other of the first and second portions having an axially-extending aperture of differing diameter to that of the one of the first and second portions; the first and second portions engaging with each other along the common axis in an interference fit between the aperture of first diameter and the aperture of differing diameter; wherein, in use, both the first and second portions have respective bearing surfaces for bearing on the front and rear surfaces, respectively, of the workpiece; wherein the axial separation of the bearing surfaces of the first and second portions, when engaged with each other, is predetermined by the axial extent (h) of at least one shoulder formed on either, or both, of the first and second portions, the at least one shoulder situated between the respective bearing surfaces of the first and second portions; andwherein the shoulder is shrouded with an electrically non-conductive material to mitigate galvanic corrosion between the shoulder material and the workpiece material. 12. A threaded fastener for installation in an aperture in a workpiece, the fastener having first and second portions, which first and second portions are arranged to engage non-removably along a common axis, the common axis defined by the aperture in the workpiece; one of the first and second portions having an axially-extending aperture of first diameter and the other of the first and second portions having an axially-extending aperture of differing diameter to that of the one of the first and second portions; the first and second portions engaging with each other along the common axis in an interference fit between the aperture of first diameter and the aperture of differing diameter; wherein, in use, both the first and second portions have respective bearing surfaces for bearing on the front and rear surfaces, respectively, of the workpiece; wherein the axial separation of the bearing surfaces of the first and second portions, when engaged with each other, is predetermined by the axial extent (h) of at least one shoulder formed on either, or both, of the first and second portions, the at least one shoulder situated between the respective bearing surfaces of the first and second portions: andwherein the spigot outer surface and the inner surface of the axially-extending aperture in the other of the first and second portions are non-circular.
