Grandt line makes some plastic 'augmentables' which are small plastic rivets, bolts, and so forth.
Here's a picture of some stuff I bought...

So, I had to develop special techniques for handling due to clumsiness inherent in this shell (i.e. clumsy fingers).
Drill a hole where you want the bolt to go; recommend 1/32 inch bit.
Snip off the augmentable not at the bolt, but at the base of the extrusion.
Feed the extrusion through the hole so the augmentable is where you want it.
Glue in place on underside.
Snip off bottoms and file flat.
A picture is worth a thousand words...

Attach the plate to whatever you wish.
In this case, a miscast ragnarok 'dolly' that I was experimeting on...

Wow - nice stuff - fiddly, but useful. Thanks for the heads up Mr. Otter.
