Daryl~ Take a look at the EJOT line of fasteners:<br><br><a href="http://www.ejot.com/ejot.de/EJOT_Solarbefestiger_Bau_2009--2749,websiteLang__en.htm">http://www.ejot.com/ejot.de/EJOT_Solarbefestiger_Bau_2009--2749,websiteLang__en.htm</a><br>
<br>These sort of look like a "hanger bolt" but they are machined to cram down on a fat rubbery washer as they are tightened. EJOT is showing up in some of the PV wholesaler inventories, and there are fastener companies with inventory in the US.<br>
<br>Contact me off list if you have trouble finding a supplier via normal channels, and I'll think of a source or two to which I can point you.<br><br>Jolliness,<br><br clear="all">Mick Abraham, Proprietor<br><a href="http://www.abrahamsolar.com">www.abrahamsolar.com</a><br>

Hi Daryl,<br>
<br>
I have drilled a small pilot hole, put plenty of sealant around it, then lag through it with what ever foot you are using.<br>
<br>
I don't think the cost of flashing around each foot with a rubber boot and 15 screws is any better but its sure more costly in time and money.<br>
