A gas turbine engine strut segment includes a strut, which may be hollow, extending radially between co-annular radially inner and outer platforms, axially spaced apart inner platform flanges extending radially inwardly from the inner platform, and axially spaced apart outer platform flanges extending radially outwardly from the inner platform. At least one inner set of coaxial tapered inner holes extend axially through the inner platform flanges and at least one outer set of coaxial tapered outer holes extend axially through the outer platform flanges. The inner set of coaxial inner holes define an inner conical surface and the outer set of coaxial outer holes define an outer conical surface. Each of the axial spaced apart platform flanges may be circumferentially continuous or scalloped having spaced circumferentially apart lugs. The strut may have two inner sets of coaxial tapered inner and outer holes extending axially through the inner and outer platform flanges, respectively.
