I added a heatbed to my RepRap G3D (Prusa i3 design from Gadgets3D). The heatbed PCB was placed on top of a piece of cork and under Borosilicate glass. To hold these pieces together I created a set of “bed-clips”. The corner holes of the heatbed PCB perfectly aligned with my print bed so I was able to place a 2” bolt through the entire assembly. I printed knobs as well to ease the adjustment process. Lastly, the rear right clip includes a strain-relief support for my heatbed and thermocouple cables.
