What's the best way to bolt a carbon part to something else? In this case I'm thinking carbon wing supports to a car chassis legs. CF uprights will need to be very strong, so I'm guessing 10 or 25mm thickness, will do some testing,  just struggling to get my head around the attachment/bolting part.

From my research it seem best to bond in a metal insert to bolt through, do these have a name as I can't find any that aren't threaded
