A composite connector comprising a plate having a plurality of perforations therethrough attached to a laminate surface with adhesive material, such as resin, and strips of fibrous laminae material, such as fiberglass, carbon or the like. The composite connector is useful for connecting a metallic object, such as a leg, brace, pole, wire or the like, to a laminate surface, such as a fiberglass tank. The composite connector allows the object to be removably connected to the laminate surface without damaging the integrity of the laminate surface. The composite connector is suitable for use with a variety of fibrous laminae and adhesives.
