A fastener for connecting fiber-reinforced ceramic components to be used at high temperatures, is in the form of a screw 1, 2 made of a fibre-reinforced ceramic material. The screw 1, 2 is manufactured from a plate having fiber layers 3 with fibers oriented parallel to the surface of the plate. The plate thickness is less than 90% of the core diameter of the thread 5a so that upon cutting a thread a discontinuous thread results. The inlets and outlets of the threads are flared. The bore of a complementary nut of fibre-reinforced ceramic is provided with a continuous inner thread that cuts through the fiber layers at a right angle (Fig 4, not shown). <IMAGE>
