Hi Folks,
A little late to the thread,
We use Big Head fasteners at work. they do various styles of bond in fasteners for grp work.

We actually use Spabond epoxy to bond then onto the grp panels ( Very Expensive and needs custom applicator gun )
With modern adhesives I would just bond some alloy angle onto the grp with a suitable epoxy adhesive with a couple of bolts to hold it in place till the glue sets then the bolts unscrewed and hole filled in.
The original method of glassing around steel tube is a bit shoddy. ( I used to own an Ashley Special )
