Group: Forum Members Posts: 8, Visits: 79	Searched the forum and couldn't find what I was looking for. Apologies if it's been covered........ Does anybody have pictures of tooling they have completed that will show me how to easily secure a 'post' or tab with a threaded insert to the back side of a part? My thought was that I will make the mold as usual for the front side and while the part is still in the mold, pour a casting resin or some kind of liquid rubber to get the angle and correct mounting location of the 'post'. Layup, infuse, cure, pull peel ply, preload silicone mold with a piece of carbon tubing, epoxy onto part, pull silicone when cured, put threded insert into the post. Just looking for the easiest, fastest, most cost effective way to do this. Thanks in advance guys and THANK YOU SO MUCH for this forum! -Danny

That makes sense, and is technically how I am planning on doing it- maybe with a nut sert in the carbon rod though. I'm more so asking to see what methods others are using to align the carbon rod in place during cure on the backside of the part. Thanks for the quick response! -Danny

Remove the whole part now with tacked on fixings and tidy up the glue splodge or add more to make firm.
