[RE-wrenches] corrigated roof mounting feet

[Mick Abraham]

Ejot is a European mfr with an interesting solution. This line is now
carried by AEE Solar, DC Power, and others. There's a curved piece with
pre-applied rubbery gasket, then special screws with more gaskets. The
curved pieces are made in many different profiles to match various roofing
types, but since this is Euro gear it may not fit American corrugated
roofing. One type of screw has thread-cutters and I believe it's intended to
go into a steel framing member.

Jolliness,
