Rivnut the chassis rail and bolt it down.

On my Locost i have one Dzus fastner either side at the back end onto small brackets on the top chassis rails and two under the front (below the
radiator apperture) on to a steel plate that comes off the front cross member. Makes removing it easy.

L shaper bracket off the top rail
Also check out RHOCaR ( Robin Hood owners club) as the Zero is made by the people who bought Robin Hood engineering

Forgot to say before but in my opinion Dus fasters allow just a bit of flex rather than rigid fixing of fibreglass which could cause stress
fractures/crazing.

on my MK there is a hinge on the bottom centre, and the chassis is drilled with a helicoil inserted either side at the top, take these two bolts out
and the nose cone flips forward to reveal the front end
