Abstract

A connecting rod has an FRP backbone (11) in which fibres are continuous and substantially longitudinally aligned. At least one of a big (20) and a little (32) end is formed from short fibred FRP, the short fibres being randomly aligned. The end material is bonded to the material of the backbone.
