I guess I may be over complicating my plans.

I think I will try the fixings SKOV used.

I did about the same as adrianreeve did. Chopped of bits of button heads. Countersunk and glued them in on epoxy stick.

We have this Q bond stuff in the workshop that sticks anything to plastics, We glued the heads of bolts to the back of plastic bumpers with this gear and it wont let go. Its a two part thing with a powder and glue. You could bond welding studs to the back of the dash. The carbon would let go before the stud came off, just buff up both the stud and the carbon. The only thing with this gear is its instant so make sure your in the proper place with everything.

Thanks, looks a good idea I found some on ebay they are very cheap

My only concern is that the thickness of the head will move the carbon away from the dash securing piece

As Rob said or you could lose the head of the stud in the carbon to form a small pocket with a spot weld drill. It might pay to go for an 8mm stud to get a decent area to bond too. It might not pull the suface in so much when tightening with an 8mm stud

1st pair of t-nuts done, there will be a minor change of plan though.

trying to get the screws in from behind was a bit of a swine, so i intend to weld stud to the t-nut so that a nut will go behind instead.

the t-nuts give a solid fitting that should never break free with dismantling and reassembly.

so, some 6mm stud and a few more fixings to sort out....
