Claim 13:
14. A method for creating a hybrid assembly of a rod segment and a flexible synthetic tensile member, comprising:
(a) providing a rod segment having a first rod end and a second rod end, with said second rod end including a standard end feature;
(b) providing said synthetic tensile member made of a plurality of individual filaments, said synthetic tensile member having a synthetic tensile member end;
(c) providing an anchor, including an extended distal wall, an expanding potting cavity, and a cavity that is distal to said expanding potting cavity;
(d) connecting said anchor to said synthetic tensile member end of said synthetic tensile member by potting a length of said plurality of individual filaments into said expanding potting cavity, thereby creating a solidified potted region within said anchor;
(e) placing said first rod end within said cavity and distal to said solidified potted region; and
(f) swaging said extended distal wall inward against said first rod end in order to connect said anchor to said rod segment.
