Good luck!

no need for wood - the area where fasteners will be located,just remove the core t the inner skin,fill that area with a thickened epoxy - west sytem mixed ith 403 adhesive additive is an excellent choice.after doing this,"machine" screws can be used,versus self tapping "wood" screws,example,you want to use a 1/4 - 20 screw,jut drill the epoxy @3/16",dab of caulking,run the fastener in - it will "thread" the epoxy...
thru bolting and sleeving are the preferred methods for composites...
