[RE-wrenches] wire clips for Sunmodo rail

[Kent Osterberg]

Kirk,

I think you'll probably have to use a stainless cable tie going all the 
way around the rail. The hanger clips you inquired about would probably 
be a poor choice on the sloped rails anyway. Another possibility, 
admittedly most costly and labor intensive, is to use something similar 
to these vinyl cushioned cable clamps 
<https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/0762883> that could be held 
with 3/4" tee bolts. I believe that the tee bolts are Sunmodo part 
B20015-004, it's not a catalog item but you can order them.
