[quote=Dogboy]How do you plan to fasten the cleat to the beam? Drill and tap for machine screws? Most beams have a fairly thin wall, so not a lot of material for thread engagement. If it is a high load application, you might need to take that into consideration, especially if the cleat is mounted on a riser pad there is going to be a lot of leverage (bending moment) trying to pull the screws out.
