A connector for fixing a hollow tube 16 to a plate 102 comprises a split cylindrical sleeve 104 that fits inside the tube. Threaded opposing cones 103 and 104 are drawn together by rotating a screw 101 to urge the sleeve parts radially outwards to fix the connector firmly inside the tube. The screw 101 at the same time holds the plate 101 firmly against the end of the tube. A resilient peripheral strap 107 holds the sleeve parts together before the connector is inserted in the end of the tube.
