Hi!

I'm preparing a saddle cover for my bike, made in CF with epoxy (by infusion). This one:

I already made the mould from the original in ABS, but now I'm looking for a solution for the underside, where I've to make the mounting points:

There are three mounting points and I'm wandering about how to do them.

I've got some silicone rubber that I can use to make three little moulds.. but then what can I do?
Pour some resin in the silicone mould, then glue the monting points on the main piece?
Do I need casting resin or I can use just standard? Maybe infusion resin which is more easy to get in the little contours?
But will the mounting point made only of resin be strong enough?
Can I glue it just with some more resin?

Any help will be welcome!!!
