A gas turbine engine component includes a ring element and a plurality of circumferentially spaced load carrying vanes extending in a radial direction of the ring element. At least one of the vanes is made of a composite material. The at least one composite vane is fastened to the ring element. The component further includes first and second wall portions that are fixed in relation to the ring element and arranged on opposite sides of the composite vane. At least a first hole extends through the first wall portion, the composite vane and the second wall portion. The first hole is adapted to receive a first insertion member. The component is arranged such as to, with regard to the first hole, provide a tight fit for the first insertion member in the first wall portion as well as in the composite vane and to provide a loose fit with a radial play in the second wall portion.
