Abstract
An outer member, an inner member, and an inside fixing member overlap each other and fastened together by a fastening member. The outer member is made of fiber reinforced resin, and fibers contained in the fiber reinforced resin-made outer member are arranged in a direction crossing the above-described overlapping direction. A bolt of the fastening member comprises a conical (truncated cone-shaped) middle portion which is poisoned between a head portion and a shaft portion. In a case where the outer member and the bolt are offset from each other in a radial direction of a through hole of the outer member, the conical middle portion partially contacts an edge portion of the through hole and compress a contacted portion of the outer member in the overlapping direction.
