PCT No. PCT/GB86/00071 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 17, 1986 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 17, 1986 PCT Filed Feb. 10, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO86/04650 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 14, 1986.A connecting rod has a rod member formed from fiber reinforced plastic material secured to a cap member to define the big end of the connecting rod. Securement is by a metal member rigidly attached to the rod member, to which the cap member is secured. Attachment of the rod member and the metal member is via a locally transversely expanded end portion of the rod member enclosed within a similarly shaped (e.g. wedge shaped) cavity in the metal member such that the expanded end portion cannot be withdrawn axially of the rod member from the cavity.
