[RE-wrenches] pop rivet purlin roof attachments

[Kirpal Khalsa]

Chris....thanks for the tip.....looks exactly like what I was looking
for.....Thanks for the lead.....They actually have lots of different options
such as waterproof versions (necessary of course) as well as many different
sizes of threaded studs of which there seem to be plenty that will work well
with Unirac offerings......This looks like it will allow blind installation
without someone on the underside of the roof and also using a pneumatic tool
for speedy installation.  Cheers
