The invention relates to a joint for joining first and second components which are generally arranged at right angles to each other. The joint comprises a flange part, which extends to a first direction, has a first connection surface that is suitable for contacting with a first part, and has at least a first connection hole formed by a bore of a first insert; and a base portion, which extends toa second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, has a second connection surface that is suitable for contacting with a second part, and has at least a second connection hole formed bya bore of a second insert. The first insert is connected to the second insert by one or more loops of a continuous fiber cable which is wrapped around a portion a radially outer surface of the firstinsert and around a portion of a radially outer surface of the second insert, and the continuous fiber cable extends generally in the first direction within the flange portion of the joint, extends generally in the second direc
