A method of fastening a second object to a fiber composite part including a structure of fibers embedded in a matrix material includes: providing the fiber composite part including an attachment surface, with a portion of the structure of fibers being exposed at the attachment surface; providing the second object; placing the second object relative to the fiber composite part, with a resin in a flowable state between the attachment surface and the connector; pressing the second object and the fiber composite part against each other and causing mechanical vibration to act on the second object or the fiber composite part or both, thereby causing the resin to infiltrate the exposed structure of fibers and activating the resin to cross-link; whereby the resin, after cross-linking, secures the second object to the fiber composite part.
A method of fastening a second object to a first object, the method comprising the steps of:

A kit of parts comprising raw material of a resin, at least one second object, and a vibration application tool capable of applying the vibrations to the second object, wherein the vibration application tool has a distal outcoupling face adapted to a proximally facing incoupling face of the second object, wherein the kit of parts is equipped to carry out a method comprising the steps of:
A fastener, comprising an anchoring plate and a fastening element bonded thereto, wherein the anchoring plate has a second attachment surface and an opposite surface as well at least one through opening, and wherein the anchoring plate further comprises a spacer projecting away from the attachment plane, whereby the anchoring plate is capable of being secured to a first object that has a first attachment surface, with the spacer abutting against the first attachment surface and with a layer of resin between the first attachment surface and the second surface.
