A method of making a hollow fiber reinforced plastic structure with integrally molded fastening devices for attaching external components. The fastening device is attached to a piece of fibrous material into which resin is injected. The finger holds the fastening device in place during the resin injection step. The resin is cured to form a molded structure with the fastening device lying on an outer surface thereof. After removal from the mold, the fastening device can be used to attach external components to the part.
