Rev 2 may not be totally accurate. But next I glued it on with 5 minute epoxy. Once it seemed strong enough I did a trial fit.

I cut the heads off some long #8 screws and sharpened them. Then I screwed them in, with some WD40 on the threads. Put a piece of heat shrink tubing over it and then glassed over with 4 or 5 layers of thin glass. Before I put resin to it, I cut up to the edge of the mount around the perimiter of the part so the cloth would lay flat around the corner.
