thanks for the link nacra 55,
[quote]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.

Thanks Dogboy. I have wondered about having threads into that material being thin, and adding a riser as well. So you bring up a great point. I was a bit surprised thinking that its suggested to mount a cleat with a screw as apposed to a revit. I will it admit it has made me concerned.
This will be for a barbour hauler on the sib of my nacra 5.2. I can't imagine there is a lot of pressure on a hauler .
Do you guys think this is a safe idea with a riser?
thanks for your input.[/quote]
