This invention is directed toward a fiber reinforced resin matrix composite article having fiber reinforced resin matrix bushings. These bushings are formed by tightly wrapping the fibers to form a plug having the fiber orientation from about .+-.20.degree. to about .+-.60.degree. to the central axis around which the fibers are wrapped. The plug is then snugly inserted into a hole which has been cut in the composite article such that the central axis of the plug is perpendicular to the fibers in the composite article. The entire composite article containing the plug is then cured and the plug is then drilled out forming the bushing.
