A main body layeris configured by a layerformed, in a cylindrical shape, from a main partand a complementary part. The main partis formed by a main prepreg. In a small-diameter part, the main prepregis wound over the entire circumference in a circumferential direction with both ends of the main prepregin a widthwise direction overlapping each other, and in a large-diameter part, the main prepregis wound so that a part of the entire circumference in the circumferential direction remains behind as a winding-shortage part, with both ends of the main prepregin the widthwise direction separated from each other in the circumferential direction. The complementary partis formed to complement the winding-shortage part by a sub-prepreghaving a predetermined shape corresponding to the winding-shortage part.
